Hot Spring Information
Saline Spring
Known as 'Netsu no Yu', the saline spring forms a salt film on the skin surface, preventing body heat from escaping and providing outstanding heat retention. The warmth continues from within even after bathing, aligning a body that has accumulated cold from the inside. The heat penetrates deeply, gently enhancing circulation. It is characterized by its use in alleviating neuralgia, bruises, and stiffness in the lower back, and melting away fatigue.
Sulfur Spring
The sulfur spring, with its distinctive boiled egg aroma, strongly conveys the hot spring atmosphere of Noboribetsu. It keeps the skin clean and promotes skin metabolism, directly conveying the 'power of the water'. Although stimulating, the refreshment is vivid, and after bathing, the skin surface feels smooth and refined. It deeply affects bodies with chronic skin troubles or joint stiffness.
Iron Spring
An acidic bath containing iron, the iron spring tightens the skin and provides a sense of cleanliness. The coloration near the spout tells the story of a 'living hot spring', and as you bathe, you feel your skin tightening. With a volcanic region's unique spring quality, it works on skin diseases, gynecological issues, and maintaining vascular health. After bathing, the skin feels light, and circulation becomes clear.
Sauna & Cold Bath Information
👨Male
Seiryu
A self-löyly sauna using water from the Asahizawa stream in the northeastern part of Noboribetsu. The interior is designed with an R-shaped upper back, allowing heat and steam to circulate easily, spreading the forest aroma throughout the space. Self-whisking with locally sourced vihta is possible, promoting blood circulation while tapping the body, leading to deep relaxation akin to a forest bath and massage. Focus on heat and aroma in silence, a meditation setup that aligns from within.
Oni Sauna
A high-temperature dry sauna supervised by 'Totonoeyakata' Mr. Daisuke Matsuo. Automatic löyly falls every 30 minutes, enveloping the body in intense heat. The rugged rock surface design, mimicking the cliffs of Hell Valley, enhances immersion, creating a tense experience as if training in a 'demon's lair'. A scorching session representing Noboribetsu, combining high temperature, intense heat, and explosive sweating.
Giant Barrel Cold Plunge Bath
A giant barrel approximately 170cm in both height and diameter, with water from the mountain stream in the northeastern foothills of Noboribetsu flowing over it. The depth allows for full submersion up to the shoulders, quickly cooling the body and quietly sealing in the heat's afterglow. Equipped with a gimmick where water falls from the ceiling, adding a refreshing accent to the cooldown. A 'dive-in' cold bath that combines deep cooling and playfulness, one of the best in the region.
Hinoki Cold Water Bath
A rare hinoki cold water bath in the region. The flowing stream water highlights the softness of the water quality, and combined with the wood's aroma, it gently relaxes the mind and body. After the intense heat of the Oni Sauna, it provides a basin to quietly regain calm with aroma and coldness.
👩Female
Kuma Sauna
An indoor sauna with a bear relief on the wall, offering a cave-like seclusion. Equipped with a solid camphor single board wall löyly system, allowing for a unique steam experience by pouring hot water directly onto the wall. Additionally, self-löyly with Hokkaido-grown bear bamboo tea heated in an iron pot creates deep healing by fusing aroma and heat. In winter, the cold plunge bath drops to around 9°C, offering a 'living environment' where the sauna experience changes with the seasons.
