Commonly known as "Heat Bath," the salt forms a thin film on the skin surface, maintaining moisturizing and heat retention effects long after bathing. The water is smooth, with a rich composition that even tastes salty. It warms the body thoroughly from the core, and is expected to alleviate cold sensitivity, muscle pain, and joint pain. In the large bath, you can experience a unique bathing method with a warm-cold alternating bath using 41-degree hot spring water and 28-degree cold spring water, stimulating the autonomic nervous system and promoting metabolism.

0Hot Spring Sauna
Male
The world's first hot spring sauna using "heated steam" vaporized from the source. The mist derived from the source fills the room, allowing the hot spring components to be absorbed into the body through the skin and lungs with each breath. The steam gently envelops the skin, promoting gradual sweating. This unique experience allows you to absorb the benefits of the sodium-chloride spring both inside and out. The high humidity allows for long, comfortable stays without worrying about skin dryness. It's a unique bathing style where you can bathe in hot spring components all over your body.
