Ofuku Onsen Michinoeki Ofuku
Hot Spring Overview
Ofuku Onsen Michinoeki Ofuku is a day-use hot spring facility attached to a roadside station (michinoeki) in Ofuku-cho, Mine City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Located about 17 minutes (12 km) by car from the Mine IC on the Chugoku Expressway, and just a 5-minute walk from JR Ofuku Station on the Mine Line, it is highly accessible for both drivers and rail travelers. Sitting close to major Yamaguchi attractions such as Akiyoshidai Quasi-National Park and the Akiyoshido Cave, it is widely used as a convenient bathing stop for sightseers from across the region. The source water gushes naturally from a depth of 1,250 meters underground at an abundant rate of 1.5 tons per minute, allowing every bathtub on site to operate on pure free-flowing source water (genuine kakenagashi). The waters are classified as weakly alkaline simple thermal spring (pH 8.2, source temperature 25.4 degrees Celsius), giving the bath a soft, smooth feel that leaves the skin notably silky after soaking. The outdoor bath features a tourmaline stone bath constructed from natural stones, while the indoor bathing area includes a large main bath, a massage bath, and an unheated raw source bath fed directly with cold spring water. Additional amenities include a sauna, an electric bath, and a salt sauna, with menus alternating monthly between the men's and women's sides. The facility also houses a farmers' market, restaurant, rest space, and free outdoor footbath, making it a popular all-in-one stop combining the appeal of a roadside station with that of a genuine onsen.
