Fodor's Expert Review Naoshima Bath I ♥ Yu

Naoshima Hot Spring

Two minutes on foot from Miyanoura Port is Japan's funkiest public bath (yu means “hot water”). Created by artist Shinro Ohtake, the bathhouse contains, among other things, an aircraft cockpit, the bottom of a ship, and an elephant statue sourced from a museum of erotica. Towels, shampoo, and soap are for sale inside; the pools themselves are gender-segregated.
