Taku no Yu 多久の湯

When enjoying your tour / travel in Shimane 島根 Japan, why not take a load off and enjoy it some more with a stop at one of the least known, yet amazingly high quality Onsen / Hot spring 温泉 resorts in Matsue 松江.

Taku no Yu 多久の湯 is an Onsen / Hotspring resort located in the north of Matsue 松江 in Kashima Town 鹿島町. The quality of the hot spring water is well renowned to be pure, clean and odorless.
It is pumped up from the ground where its source temperature is about 72 degrees Celsius. After filtration and cooling it reaches the bath at about 42 degrees Celsius.

Taku no Yu 多久の湯 features an outdoor bath 露天風呂 with a lovely country view. It has an exceptionally good infra-red dry sauna. No cold water plunge pool, but a cold water trough or Kake-yu 掛け湯 is placed outside of the sauna so you can immediately dowse yourself with a pale of cold water or use the cold water shower provided. There is a tap with normal drinking water available also. After enjoying the sauna and the rush of a quick cool down afterwards, Sanintabi! recommends going outside to one of the benches around the outdoor bath taking in the fresh air and beautiful scenery. Something people take for granted in the country that people in the city long for. A mixture of Onsen / Hotspring and Sauna therapy is the ultimate relaxation.

After you exit the Onsen / Sauna, there is a straw mat resting room where water or tea is provided. Vending machines sell milk, ice-cream etc. There is also a local products store in the lobby. Taku no Yu 多久の湯 has a point card system for repeat customers. Collect a lot of points (15 visits or more) and get rewarded with free entry tickets and some small gifts. The price is 500yen for adults, 300yen for Matsue 松江 citizens.
