Kashitate Mukaizato Hot Spring

Kashitate Mukaizato Hot Spring, commonly referred to as Fureai no Yu, is a popular destination for locals due to its convenient proximity to Hachijojima’s main town. The facility is housed in a charming wooden structure designed to resemble a traditional farmhouse, featuring high ceilings with exposed rafters that remain visible while bathing. A unique architectural detail is the partition wall separating the male and female sections; because it does not reach the roof, the ambient chatter from both sides creates a lively, communal atmosphere throughout the building.

The onsen offers two primary bathing areas: an indoor pool maintained at a steady 41–42°C and a slightly cooler open-air bath. From the outdoor tub, visitors can relax while viewing the island’s lush palm trees peeking over the privacy walls, adding a tropical touch to the rustic experience. Its blend of traditional Japanese architecture and island scenery makes it an essential stop for an authentic local soak.
