Shima Onsen Shakuzen

4.0

"Sekizenkan, the oldest wooden bathhouse in Japan, was built in 1691 and consists of three buildings: the main building, the ""Sanso,"" a registered tangible cultural property, and the ""Kashotei,"" a fusion of tradition and modernity. The view of the main building from the vermilion-lacquered ""Keiun Bridge"" is reminiscent of the Ghibli movie ""Spirited Away. In 2020, the Yakuzen Restaurant ""Yakuzen Ya Koshin"" opened in front of Keiunbashi Bridge."
