Opened in 1897, the famous 'Shika no Yu' is a sodium-chloride spring that continues to flow against the backdrop of seasonal mountain views and mountain streams. With various settings such as hotter 42–43°C baths and lukewarm tubs, it is designed to relax the body from the core through the bath. It proposes alternating baths with the sauna/cold plunge as a way to 'finish,' creating an ideal thermal bathing environment for body transition.
