Nanitch: Hot Springs & Saunas
Beaches, Swim Map, Cold Plunge
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Soak, sweat, swim. 10,000+ hot springs, saunas and wild beaches, mapped worldwide. Should you go today? Tap a pin and find out. Free. No ads, no DMs.
Nanitch is the map of places to soak, sweat, and swim: hot springs, saunas, bathhouses, cold plunges, swimming holes, and wild beaches. More than 10,000 of them, worldwide.
There are two kinds of spots here, and we always tell you which you are looking at.
A hand-checked core: visited, moderated, and confirmed by members who have actually been there. And a much larger layer imported from OpenStreetMap: real places, correctly located, that nobody has confirmed yet. Those are labeled as exactly that. You will never be told something is verified when it is not.
Nanitch is completely free. No subscriptions, no ads, no in-app purchases.
SHOULD YOU GO RIGHT NOW?
Tap a pin and the first thing you see is a short verdict for today: the weather at the spot, how recently someone confirmed it is still there, the latest reports, and whether it is in season. Written by AI from member reports and weather, labeled as such, and never a substitute for the legal line beneath it.
ASK ANYTHING
Parking? Water temperature? Good for a first visit? Ask in plain words and get an answer built only from that spot’s own facts and what members have written.
WHAT YOU GET
10,000+ hot springs, saunas, onsen, bathhouses, cold plunges, swimming holes, and wild beaches.
Photos first: a swipeable carousel of real, reviewed member photos on every spot that has them.
Dress code and legal status on every spot, never guessed, never hidden, and “not known” said out loud.
Best season, access notes, where to park, first-timer tips, and live weather.
Confirmations with dates, so you can tell a solid spot from an iffy one.
One tap to confirm you are there, then a photo, a note, or a rating if you like.
Condition reports with no account needed: worth it, busy, closed, parking full.
Filters that matter: swimsuits or clothing-optional, good for a first visit, recently confirmed.
Offline maps for the spots you save, for trailheads with no signal.
Notifications you control: reports on saved spots, someone out at a place you care about, quiet hours, and a mute on any single spot.
Save spots, track your visits, and earn badges as you explore.
Works on any phone. The map runs on the web too.
EMBERS
On every spot page there is an open invite: “I’ll be at this place at this time, come if you want.” Others tap in to say they are coming, and you meet by showing up. There is no messaging and no profiles to browse. An ember points at a place and a time, never at a person.
BE THE FIRST
Thousands of places on this map have never been confirmed by anyone. Go to one, tap I’m here, and the next person knows the map is telling the truth because of you.
BUILT FOR FIRST-TIMERS
New to this? Nanitch tells you where you can actually go, whether it is legal, what the vibe is, and what to expect, with zero pressure. Most spots on the map are swimsuit-on. Clothing-optional spots are clearly marked and are a filter, not the default.
SAFE BY DESIGN
Clothing-optional here means ordinary, non-sexual nudity, the same as a European sauna or a quiet stretch of beach. There is no nudity anywhere in the app. All photos are reviewed before they appear. There is no private messaging, none, and there never has been. Report and block tools throughout, with active moderation. You must be 18 or older to use Nanitch.
SPOT SOMETHING OFF?
Know a spot we are missing, or one that is wrong or out of date? Tell us instead of guessing. There is a “Suggest a spot or feedback” option in the app (Me, then Settings), or email us any time. We would rather hear it from you and fix it fast.

Tap a pin and the first thing you see is whether to go today.
SHOULD YOU GO RIGHT NOW?
Every spot now opens with a short verdict: the weather at the spot, how recently someone confirmed it is still there, the latest reports, and whether today is in season. Written by AI from real member reports and weather, labeled as such, and never a substitute for the legal line underneath. Give it a thumbs up or down so we know when it gets one wrong.
ASK ANYTHING
Right under the verdict. Parking? Water temperature? First-timer friendly? Ask in plain words and get an answer built only from that spot’s own facts and member notes.
THE SPOT PAGE, REBUILT
Photos first, as a swipeable carousel. Two buttons: Directions and I’m here. Tap I’m here and the confirmation lands, then one sheet asks how it was, takes a photo, a note, or a rating. Everything else folds away until you want it: getting there, legal and dress code, what people have said.
ONE MAP, ONE PIN
Pins are colored by what the place is, and the ring says how much anyone knows about it: confirmed, written up, or imported and waiting for its first visitor. The website uses the same pins.
NOTIFICATIONS YOU CONTROL
Me > Notifications: choose what you hear about and when. Reports on saved spots, someone out at a place you care about, your spot’s first confirmation. Quiet hours, a one-a-day cap, and a mute on any single spot. Walk up to a spot and a day or two later we ask one question: still there? One tap answers it.
WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL
Star a spot and its map saves to your phone for the trailhead with no bars.
ALSO
Links from nanitch.com and poster scans open straight in the app.
Filter the map by dress code: swimsuits, clothing-optional, or either.
Embers, the open invite to meet at a place, now lives on each spot page.
