Peninsula Hot Springs invite you to immerse yourself in the colour, sound and spirit of Japan.

Inspired by Kodomo no Hi, the beloved Japanese Children’s Day festival, brings to life the traditions and beauty of Japanese culture across a magical full day at the Peninsula Hot Springs.

Join them for Koinobori origami workshops, a guided Story-Sound Bathing Journey, a Japanese-inspired menu in the Bath House Cafe and Bar’s Izakaya-style pop-up, and an unmissable Gala performance in the Bath House Amphitheatre featuring Melbourne’s celebrated taiko ensemble Wadaiko Rindo, Ken Furukawa on bamboo flute, and the enchanting koto and shakuhachi duo of Brandon Lee and Anne Norman.
