About this spot

About 10 minutes by car from Kawazu Banana Wani Garden, this free park sits along the Kawazu River. It features a natural hot spring that dramatically shoots up at intervals—it was accidentally discovered when digging for a hot spring well. The thunderous roar and steam of the geyser erupting are impressive enough to make both children and adults cry out, making it a popular photo spot. There's also a foot bath in the park, perfect for a brief rest before heading to your beach swim.

Tips

The geyser erupts at regular intervals, so allow extra time to avoid missing it. The steam can drift toward onlookers, so supervise small children carefully. Admission is free, and parking is available on-site.
