Osaka Higashiosaka City
The ultimate totonou experience with a natural hot spring from 1,000 m underground and massive saunas
Hanazono Onsen sauna kukka is a hot spring and multi-sauna bathing facility in Higashi-Osaka, Osaka Prefecture. On the 2nd floor, Spa Hanazono offers a sodium bicarbonate spring sourced from 1,000 m underground, with a hot bath and a warm bath, an outdoor bath, and a gender-separated Sauna Hanazono equipped with auto löyly. The 3rd floor is a swimsuit-required coed area featuring the 80-person-class Sauna Kukka, wood-fired barrel saunas, and reservable private rooms called oma supervised by manga author Katsuki Tanaka. The 1st floor houses a food court and body care services, allowing for full-day stays.

The baths are supplied with a sodium bicarbonate spring sourced from 1,000 m underground. The indoor baths are organized into two systems: a deeper hot bath and a more leisurely warm bath, making it easy to choose by temperature. The outdoor baths emphasize skin-beautifying effects, with water that feels smooth and leaves skin soft and conditioned.

An auto löyly sauna located in the outdoor area of the main bath. It is equipped with a Sawo tower-type stove and a Bona stove, featuring a spacious interior and three-tiered seating. The automatic löyly system and a heat-wave device are designed to envelop the entire room in heat and steam in a short time.

A sauna inside the men's bathing room that allows self löyly. You can pour water onto the sauna stones at your preferred timing to directly experience the rising steam and spreading heat. Ideal for those who want a quiet, disciplined sweat session while focusing inward.

A salt nano-mist sauna in the women's bathing room where fine steam fills the space. The temperature is set lower, but the high humidity warms the body deeply. It feels less stifling and helps protect skin and hair from drying while providing a moist, conditioning bathing effect.

A cold plunge bath in the 2nd-floor main bath with both shallow and deep sections in the same tub. Because it has substantial depth, you can fully submerge your heated body from the sauna at once for efficient cooling. After the cold plunge bath, enjoy the spacious outdoor cooling area lined with carefully selected chairs designed for totonou (the state of perfect relaxation), feeling the breeze as you relax.
