Hot Spring Information
Niji no Yu Source
The spring quality is a sodium-chloride hot spring. Emanating from a stratum dating back to the dinosaur era, about 80 million years ago (1,500 m underground), it offers a salty taste and a warm, lingering post-bath sensation. The outdoor pot bath and ceramic bath feature free-flowing water, enhancing skin feel and heat retention. After bathing, muscle tension and chills are alleviated, leaving a feeling of a well-balanced body.
Sauna & Cold Bath Information
Radon Sauna
Equipped with radon ceramic tiles on the seating area, this sauna features an auto-löyly every 30 minutes, creating a vortex of heat. From the moment you sit down, the 'heat = perspiration' begins, with warmth gradually spreading across the body. Despite its large size, the seating arrangement and heat distribution are well-balanced, ensuring a smooth transition from sweating to cooling and resting.
Barrel Sauna (Outdoor)
A small cylindrical sauna enveloped in the scent of wood, designed for quick and intense heating. Located close to the outdoor air bath deck, it allows for efficient rotation between sauna sessions.
Indoor Cold Plunge Bath
Designed with a depth of approximately 90 cm, this cooling bath allows for full submersion up to the shoulders. Positioned with the 'heat → cold' flow in mind, it provides an efficient path to totonou after the radon sauna.
Ceramic Cold Plunge Bath
A cold plunge bath made of Shigaraki ware, offering a natural blessing. The soft texture unique to ceramics and the comfortable water temperature gently envelop the body.
