Shiobara, Nasushiobara, Tochigi Prefecture

Shiobara Akatsuki-no-Yu

The most practical choice if you want to combine bathing, a place to rest, food and even a warm-water pool in one stop. If you are looking only for a gorge-side source-flowing bath or a remote onsen feel, there is no need to detour to Sekiya.

Spring & water temperature

Spring-source temperature
Not published; older analysis figures from the 2000s are not substituted as a 2026 source temperature.
Bathing temperature
No fixed pool temperature is listed in current official information.
Spring source
The facility's own spring; the current official tourism page does not publish a spring name that can be matched to 2026.
Spring classification
Not published in the current first-party listing; a complete spring classification is not provided.
pH
Not published.
Flow rate
Not published.
Water handling
Nasushiobara's tourism agency identifies the facility as a source-flowing day-use onsen. The current page does not publish all water addition, heating, circulation and disinfection conditions for every pool, so “source-flowing” is not expanded into a claim that every bath is untreated.

Bathing indications

The official tourism page presents the natural spring alongside rest, dining and a warm-water bathing pool. No medical claim is made here.

The official tourism listing gives weekday adult admission at ¥800 and a weekday evening rate of ¥600. A complete 2026 weekend and holiday price table was not confirmed in the same-strength first-party sources; check the latest facility rates before visiting.

How to read a bath profile
