Highlights

Shima Onsen

It is said that Shima Onsen can heal 40,000 different types of illnesses and disorders. Against a backdrop of traditional Japanese vistas that have been well preserved, this onsen resort area has struck a harmonious balance between the old – as represented by tranquil wooden inns – and the new – as represented by the presence of modern hotels. Spa enthusiasts looking to unwind in a relaxing environment are encouraged to pay a visit.
