Nanakodai Onsen

A surprisingly pleasant onsen in a Noda City shopping center

Noda City only has two onsen hot spring spas, but they're both lovely. This one, Nanakodai Onsen, is easily accessible from either Kawama or Nanakodai Stations. The onsen entrance fee is relatively inexpensive, and there is a small dining hall, spa treatment area (massage of various kinds), and chill-out spaces. The spa itself has main baths indoors and out, reclining baths, and both steam saunas and salt saunas with medicinal cures. If you go on a weekday, before dinner time, it's quiet and pleasant. Kids are welcome, too. See the calendar for special days. Nanakodai Onsen is situated in Nanakodai Aeon. You can take care of your shopping, have a relaxing bath, and get dinner at the many restaurants around there before you head home.
