Green Island Sunrise Hot Springs

　　   The Sunrise Hot Springs are situated among the rugged reefs on the southeastern coast of Green Island. They are one of the rare saltwater hot springs in the world, classified as a sulfur spring, but without the strong smell of sulfur, and they leave no sticky feeling after bathing—quite unique. Seawater hot springs are extremely rare globally, with only one known in Japan and another in Italy, making them quite extraordinary.

　　   Introduction

　　   The hot spring area covers about 3 to 4 pyeong (approximately 10–13 square meters), with a water depth of around one meter. Also called an undersea hot spring, it is a sulfur spring where seawater seeps into the rock layers, is heated by geothermal energy, and then gushes out under high pressure. This rare saltwater hot spring is suitable for bathing but not for drinking, with a distinct salty taste from the seawater. Nearby in the crevices of the coastal rocks, the rare sea hibiscus grows, which is said to help treat rheumatism.

　　   Currently, the Eastern Coastal Scenic Area has built three circular pools with different temperatures for visitors to enjoy the hot springs. You can soak in the springs while admiring the island scenery of blue sea and sky. At night, with a sky full of stars overhead, the experience becomes even more special. If you wish to watch the sunrise, you can also come here at 3 or 4 a.m. to soak in the springs and greet the dawn. Ticket Information · Opening Hours
