A Dynamic, Natural Open-Air Bathing Experience
Jinata Onsen is a natural "rotenburo" (open-air hot spring) that represents Shikinejima, famous for its dramatic location set among steep coastal cliffs.
Its name comes from the unique landscape, which looks as if it were split open by a "nata" (a type of Japanese hatchet).
This seaside onsen is directly influenced by the ocean's tides, which change the water's temperature and depth.
Bathing is best at low tide, so be sure to check the tide schedule before you visit.
Also, please note that swimwear is required for this mixed-gender bath.
The sulfur-rich chloride spring is said to be good for the skin and helps retain body heat.
With no changing rooms or showers, this is a truly "wild" bathing experience, allowing you to connect directly with nature.
