Kyoto Kyotanabe City
A well-equipped resort spa with a natural hot spring drawn directly from the source, 17 types of baths, and a wide variety of saunas
"SPA&HOTEL Suisyun Matsuiyamate" is a spa-hotel-style hot spring facility in Kyotanabe City, Kyoto Prefecture, where guests can stay overnight. It offers a full-scale sauna with powerful auto löyly, a medicinal herb and salt sauna, and luxurious private sauna rooms, while the carbonated cold plunge bath after the sauna delivers an exceptional sense of refreshment. The abundant natural hot spring "Kyo Bijin no Yu," drawn directly from the source, is a chloride spring that gently wraps the skin. A spacious stone-bed lounge with six themed areas, a fitness gym, and a variety of restaurants promise a blissful stay experience you could spend a whole day exploring without ever getting bored.

A large bath where you can luxuriously enjoy "Kyo Bijin no Yu," drawn directly from the source underground. This chloride spring, rich in salt, gently wraps the skin and, with its excellent heat-retaining properties, keeps you warm long after you leave the bath. A spacious open-air rock bath, source-fed tsubo baths, and other varied tubs let you enjoy a high-quality bathing experience.

A diverse selection of baths with thoughtful touches, including the "super carbonated spring," where dissolved carbon dioxide gently envelops the entire body, and the fantastical "milk ion bath," tinted milky white by ultra-fine bubbles. From reclining baths with shallow and deep options to a private-feeling seated bath, you can savor bathing in many different styles. Abundant negative ions and tiny bubbles deeply relax both body and mind, leading you into a blissful moment.

A private outdoor tsubo bath in the suite room where you can fully enjoy the natural hot spring. Feel the breeze of Kyotanabe as you savor a completely private bathing experience for just the two of you, free from concern for your surroundings. It is a luxurious space that adds even more brilliance to a special stay.

A full-scale sauna where far-infrared heat penetrates deep into the body and powerful heat quickly promotes perspiration. Auto löyly automatically pours water onto the sauna stones, and as heat and steam circulate through the room, you can savor the moment when the intense heat transforms into a burst of refreshing comfort.

A sauna room located in the outdoor area, filled with the rich aroma and steam of Chinese herbal medicines. With a slightly lower temperature setting, you can warm your body slowly while working mineral-rich salt into your skin. As you sweat, the salt dissolves and gently polishes the skin, leaving it smooth and lustrous.

A special cold plunge bath infused with carbon dioxide, designed to pleasantly cool and tighten a body warmed by the sauna. Its crisp, refreshing feel is unique to carbonated water, and it helps close up open pores while providing a revitalizing cool-down experience.
