Yoshioka Onsen, Tottori City, Tottori Prefecture
Yoshioka Onsen Hall Ichinoyu
A strong pick from Tottori City if you want a genuine source-flowing bath with indoor and outdoor pools, plus family and accessible private baths. The spring runs hot, so start with the cooler pool if you prefer a gentler soak.

Spring & water temperature
- Spring-source temperature
- 51.3°C.
- Bathing temperature
- No fixed 2026 pool temperatures are published. The operator's 2025 management reference gave about 45°C for the hot bath, 43°C for the cooler bath and 42°C for the outdoor bath; these are not guaranteed daily settings.
- Spring source
- Yoshioka Onsen Hall Ichinoyu source.
- Spring classification
- Simple spring; low-salinity, weakly alkaline and hot spring.
- pH
- 8.0.
- Flow rate
- 100 L/min.
- Water handling
- The operator describes the baths as source-flowing. Its 2025 supply note says no water is added or heated, no circulation is used, and the baths are drained, cleaned and refilled nightly. Treat that as the operator's published operating description, not a promise that temporary operations can never change.
Bathing indications
The operator lists neuralgia, muscle pain, frozen shoulder, joint pain, sensitivity to cold and fatigue among general bathing indications; these are not treatment guarantees.
The 51.3°C figure is the source temperature, not the bath temperature. The hot pool can feel intense; short soaks in the cooler pool are a better starting point if you are heat-sensitive.
How to read a bath profile
Spring-source temperature and actual bathing temperature are kept separate. Each score is shown independently for comparison rather than collapsed into one overall score.
