About Kusatsu Yumoto Suishun
"Kusatsu Yumoto Suishun" is a day-use hot spring facility in Kusatsu City, Shiga Prefecture. Its natural chloride spring, "Omi Kusatsu Bijin no Yu," which bubbles up from strata beneath Lake Biwa, has a soft feel that gently envelops the whole body and soothes tired muscles from the core. The sauna facilities are exceptionally well equipped, featuring a full-fledged sauna with automatic löyly, as well as a variety of options such as a barrel sauna that soothes you with the scent of wood. Once heated up, you can cool off in the open-air cold plunge bath or the extra-deep cold plunge bath, which feels like standing in cold water. The stone-bed bathing area, where music and lighting create a fun atmosphere, along with the restaurant, make this a blissful space where you can lose track of time and relax all day long.

A natural hot spring with chloride spring water sourced from groundwater stored in the strata beneath Lake Biwa. Rich in sodium bicarbonate, it is characterized by a smooth bathing feel that gently polishes the skin's surface.

SaunaSAUNA
Löyly Sauna
A full-fledged sauna wrapped in the powerful heat of far-infrared rays. Regular automatic löyly fills the sauna room with high-temperature steam, causing the perceived temperature to rise all at once. Löyly service is also offered by staff who wave large fans to send waves of hot air, letting you fully enjoy a refreshing sweating experience. In the spacious room, you can take your time facing the heat and experience deep refreshment.
Barrel Sauna
A barrel-style sauna that originated in Finland, built from timber into a cask shape. Its distinctive cylindrical design helps steam circulate evenly throughout the sauna room. Self löyly is available, so you can control the humidity and heat to suit your preference. The quiet space is filled with the pleasant scent of wood, creating an immersive feeling of being in nature and a supreme relaxation experience.
Kampo Herb Salt Sauna
A steam sauna that uses kampo herbs made by blending several medicinal ingredients such as cinnamon bark and ginger, along with mineral-rich salt. A special attraction featuring bursts of large amounts of steam is held regularly, filling the room with the rich aroma of herbs. By rubbing salt into your body, you can work up a refreshing sweat while warming up deeply.
Meditation Sauna
A sauna available exclusively in the men's bathing area, where you can face yourself in silence. Calm lighting and a quiet environment are maintained, allowing you to immerse yourself in a deep world of mindfulness. Self löyly is available, and by pressing a switch, waves of heat circulate through the room, with the pleasant warmth and stillness guiding you to the ultimate totonou.
Biko Sauna
A sauna space available exclusively in the women's bathing area, featuring beautiful lighting effects. Wrapped in three soothing lights that change from red to yellow to green, you can spend time much like color therapy, matching your mood for the day. Regular automatic löyly keeps the room at a comfortable humidity, allowing you to work up a gentle, pleasant sweat.
