"Tosa Mochizuki Onsen Himewako no Yu" is a day-use hot spring facility in Kochi City, Kochi Prefecture. With a Taisho Romantic style throughout the building, it offers a nostalgic yet refined space that feels like a small getaway, a little removed from everyday life. Its open-air bath, one of the largest in the prefecture, is appealing for its location with a broad view toward the eastern sky, where guests can enjoy a luxurious soak while feeling the abundant sunlight by day and gentle moonlight by night. In addition to natural hot spring water that warms you to the core and a high-concentration artificial carbonated spring, the facility also features a full range of bathing amenities, including an authentic sauna with automatic löyly. After bathing, guests can relax at the dining area serving locally sourced ingredients or in the rest area boasting a library of several thousand books.
Hot SpringONSEN
Large Bath Area
A natural hot spring consisting of a prefecture-leading open-air bath and a spacious indoor bath. It uses monochloramine disinfection, resulting in less of an irritating odor and a gentle feel that is less likely to leave the skin feeling tight. In the open-air area, which opens widely toward the eastern sky, you can enjoy a relaxing soak with a special sense of openness, bathed in abundant sunlight during the day and gentle moonlight at night.
High-Concentration Artificial Carbonated Spring
An artificial carbonated spring available in the indoor bath. Fine carbon dioxide dissolved in the water gently envelops the whole body and warms it gradually from within. It is less tiring even with long baths, and the comforting warmth continues pleasantly after you get out.
