Kaike Onsen

Kaike Onsen was discovered in the early 1900s after a fisherman noticed hot spring bubbles rising from the ocean floor near Miho Bay; a local land developer subsequently built it into a resort in the early 20th century, and a rail line linking Yonago and Kaike opened in 1925. It draws the largest volume of hot spring water of any resort in Tottori Prefecture, with sodium-calcium chloride water at 63-83°C flowing from 19 sources at a combined rate of about 4,456.5 liters per minute. The spring is traditionally used to treat neuralgia, rheumatism, and skin conditions.
