Aska Thermal Spa:
Hot Pools Under Red Cliffs

Updated 2026 · 4 min read

Aska Thermal Spa is a rare kind of place: three open-air pools right under a rocky cliff with red granite. Hot water comes through pipes from a well, while cool water flows naturally from the rock (mineralization: 233 mg/L). Minimal human interference — maximum atmosphere.

What makes it special?

The pools sit on the left bank of the river, directly below a dramatic cliff. The contrast is the whole vibe: hot thermal water + cold natural flow + red rocks + fresh air.
