Kira Onsen Hot Spring
Palm trees on a white sand beach at this tropical resort area
Kira Onsen Hot Spring is located along the peaceful Mikawa Bay between Aichi's southern Chita and Atsumi Peninsulas, offering a spectacular oceanic view.
Miyazaki Beach sprawls before your eyes as coconut trees sway in the breeze on a gorgeous white sand beach, earning it the nickname "Kira Waikiki Beach", recognized by the state of Hawaii and all those searching for an escape to a tropical resort setting. A Hawaiian Festival is held every August with hula dance enthusiasts coming from around Japan to watch dance competitions and authentic Polynesian dance shows.
The town of Kira, where Kira Onsen Hot Spring lies, has ties to Kira Kozunosuke, famous for his role in the story The Treasury of Loyal Retainers. Kozunosuke is painted as a villain in the story, but actually commanded a deep sense of trust among those he ruled in the Kira area. Enjoy the rejuvenating hot spring of this area as you walk around historic spots or just kick back in the relaxing resort atmosphere.
