Hot Spring
Natural Hot Spring
A low-tonicity alkaline cold mineral spring that gushes from underground. The weak alkaline spring quality gently dissolves skin keratin, promoting skin metabolism and leading to smooth, beautiful skin. Although the source spring temperature is low, it is heated for use, characterized by its soft texture. There are two bathing areas, Mai no Yu and Hikari no Yu, which switch between men and women once a month. Each features a different design inspired by fireflies, with the chic Mai no Yu and the bright and open Hikari no Yu. The sauna's cold plunge bath also uses the source spring, allowing you to fully enjoy the blessings of the hot spring.
