Misasa Radium Onsen

三朝温泉

Tottori · Chugoku

Misasa Radium Onsen is renowned for having the world's highest radon concentration, making it a unique destination for health enthusiasts. Visitors can enjoy the therapeutic benefits of its mineral-rich waters, which are also suitable for drinking. Nestled near the scenic Daisen mountain range, it offers a tranquil retreat surrounded by nature.

Why we picked it

Mainstream travelers often overlook Misasa due to its remote location and lesser-known status compared to more famous onsens.
