Nara Soni Village
Soni Highland Onsen Okame-no-Yu is a day-use hot spring facility located at the foot of Soni Highland in Nara. It features a location with a view of the majestic mountain range, providing an environment where you can enjoy bathing along with the seasonal scenery. The bathing areas are offered on a weekly rotation between the 'Stone Bath' and the 'Wood Bath,' both equipped with open-air baths, indoor baths, saunas, and cold plunge baths.
TypeNatural Hot Spring
Both the open-air and indoor baths are filled with sodium bicarbonate hot spring water, offering a 'smooth and moist' bathing experience that envelops the skin. The bicarbonate component softens keratin, leaving the skin smooth after bathing. The open-air bath offers views of Kabuto-dake, Yoroi-dake, and Soni Highland, and the contrast between the outdoor air and the hot spring temperature gently enhances blood circulation.
Sauna TypeDry Sauna
Stove TypeInfrared Heater
Capacity9people
The high-temperature far-infrared rays warm the body from the core, allowing you to sweat thoroughly in a short time. In the quietness, your body temperature rises slowly, your vision calms, and unnecessary thoughts peel away. The flow leading to the outdoor air bath while inhaling the mountain air becomes seamless, and with each cycle, your head and body feel lighter.
Water QualityNatural Water (Groundwater, Spring, etc.)
Capacity2people
A cold plunge bath using the spring water of Soni Highland, selected as one of the 'Heisei Era's Top 100 Famous Waters'. The water quality is soft, and the coldness reaches depth before sharpness. Heat quietly withdraws from the toes to the core, providing a cool-down like an afterglow. The purity of the natural water resets the entire body.
Closed Days: Wednesday
