Oshima Gojinka Onsen by Bus Guide
Island Center Gojinka Onsen is the practical Motomachi-area hot-spring stop for travelers arriving by ship, bus, or a west-side island walk. The key is to check whether your day has overnight-ferry arrival hours, whether your visit falls on a closure day, and how you will return after bathing.

Quick Answer
Oshima Town’s official page lists Gojinka Onsen at Motomachi aza Nakanohara 1-8, about 5 minutes on foot from Motomachi Port. Oshima Bus’s sightseeing page lists the same practical access: use Motomachi Port as the stop, then walk 5 minutes.
If you arrive at Okada Port, Oshima Town’s page says to take a bus to Motomachi Port for about 20 minutes, with a listed fare of 370 yen, then walk about 5 minutes to the onsen. For early large passenger ship arrivals, both Oshima Town and Oshima Bus describe connection buses that include the Gojinka Onsen direction, but you should move to the bus stop promptly after disembarking.
Hours And Closed Days
As checked on August 21, 2026, Oshima Town listed hours as 6:30 to 21:00 on days when an overnight ferry arrives, and 9:00 to 21:00 on days without an overnight ferry arrival. That difference matters if you are planning to bathe right after an overnight ship.
The town page lists regular closed days as Thursdays and the second Wednesday. It also says February, March, and August follow a variable pattern, with a separate closure-day PDF linked from the official page. Check the latest closure calendar before you go.
Admission And Facilities
Oshima Town listed basic admission at 710 yen for adults and 300 yen for children, as checked on August 21, 2026. The child rate applies to junior-high-school age or younger, age 70 or older, disability certificate holders, and attendants. The town page also lists a three-day passport at 1,520 yen for adults and 710 yen for children, valid from the purchase date for three days and also usable at Hama-no-yu.
Facilities include baths, sauna-related spaces, a 25m hot-spring pool, rest areas, a shop, and a restaurant area. For pool use, the official page asks users to wear a swimming cap and says swimsuit rental is available for 300 yen with a deposit. The restaurant note is also current-info sensitive: the town page says Wednesday restaurant operations are suspended for the time being.
Bus Planning
Oshima Bus’s sightseeing page lists Gojinka Onsen on the Oshima Park Line, Habu Port Line, and Miharayama Line, with Motomachi Port as the stop and a 5-minute walk. Use Oshima Bus’s route-bus page for current timetable files rather than relying on a copied time.
As checked on August 21, 2026, the Oshima Bus route-bus page showed a timetable period of July 1 to September 30, 2026. It also listed one-day passes at 2,500 yen for adults and 1,250 yen for children, and two-day passes at 3,800 yen for adults and 1,900 yen for children, valid on all routes.
Payment And Small-Cash Notes
Oshima Bus’s FAQ says Suica and PASMO are not accepted, while cash and PayPay are accepted. The FAQ also says on-bus change is available for 50 to 500 yen coins and 1,000 yen notes. Carry small cash even if you expect to use PayPay.
For the onsen itself, prices, tickets, rental items, locker use, restaurant operations, and shop items should be checked on the official facility page before travel. Bring a towel plan, especially if you are arriving directly from a ferry or after a walk.
Before You Go Checklist
- Check whether your arrival day has overnight-ferry hours or regular hours.
- Check the latest closure calendar, especially in February, March, or August.
- Confirm the current bus timetable to or from Motomachi Port.
- Bring small cash and a towel plan.
- If using the pool, check cap and swimsuit requirements before entering.
