Osaka Higashiosaka City
A superb totonou experience with a natural hot spring 1,000 meters underground and a giant sauna
"Hanazono Onsen sauna kukka" is a hot spring and multi-sauna bathing facility in Higashiosaka, Osaka Prefecture. On the 2nd floor, spa hanazono offers indoor and outdoor baths with hot and lukewarm sodium bicarbonate spring water bubbling up from 1,000 meters underground, plus sauna hanazono with automatic löyly, where men and women can spend time separately. The 3rd floor is a swimwear-required shared area featuring sauna kukka for around 80 people, wood-fired barrel saunas, and private rooms such as oma supervised by Katsuki Tanaka. The 1st floor has a food court and body care, making it a place where you can stay all day.

Carbonate spring water bubbling up from 1,000 meters underground is supplied to the baths. The indoor baths have two types: a deep hot bath and a relaxing lukewarm bath, making it easy to choose according to temperature. The outdoor area features an open-air bath promoted for its skin-beautifying effects, with smooth water that gives the impression of leaving the skin soft and well-conditioned.

An automatic löyly sauna located in the outdoor area of the large bath. It features a Sawo tower-style stove and a Bona stove, and is characterized by its spacious interior and three-tier bench layout. With automatic löyly and hot-air equipment, the entire room is designed to be filled with heat and steam in a short time.

A sauna in the men’s bathing area where self löyly is possible. You can pour water onto the sauna stones whenever you like, directly enjoying the rising steam and spreading heat. It is suited to times when you want to quietly face yourself and work up a disciplined sweat.

A salt nano-mist sauna in the women’s bathing area, filled with fine steam. Although the temperature is set relatively low, the high humidity warms the body thoroughly from the inside. It is less difficult to breathe in, and provides a moist bathing effect while helping protect the skin and hair from dryness.

A cold plunge bath in the large bath on the 2nd floor, divided into shallow and deep sections inside the tub. Because it has substantial depth, you can sink your whole body, heated by the sauna, all at once and cool down efficiently. After the cold plunge bath, you can spend an excellent, deeply relaxing time feeling the breeze in the spacious outdoor open-air rest area, where carefully selected relaxation chairs are lined up.
