Soothe Your Shimanami Fatigue with Carbonated Baths and Saunas
Just a few minutes’ walk from JR Imabari Station, Shimanami Onsen Kisuke no Yu offers a spacious natural hot spring facility designed to relax both body and mind after a long journey. The mildly alkaline water, drawn from 1,000 meters underground, is complemented by over 10 types of baths, including a high-concentration carbonated spring, a skin-friendly rock bath, and walking baths that gently ease away travel fatigue. Unique features like the mikan-scented steam sauna and the self- and automatic-loyly sauna huts provide opportunities to fully “reset” your body. The facility also includes secure bicycle lockers, extensive relaxation areas, and an adjoining capsule hotel, making it a convenient stopover for both walking pilgrims and Shimanami Kaido cyclists.

Imabari, Shimanami Onsen ♨️ I stayed at Kisuke no Yu.
★★★★★ (5 out of 5 stars)
Pilgrimage pack, standard capsule 3500 yen is the best cost performance.
Relax and stretch your legs in the natural hot springs. The first reception after check-in is a glass of draft beer.
Boo! I can’t get enough of it!
It is the best accommodation for bicycle pilgrimage. There are individual bicycle lockers where you can store one at a time, and security cameras are installed.
