Shizuoka Gotemba City
Spectacular views of Mount Fuji from the sauna room, a cold plunge bath, and an exceptional spa with a private spring
"Konohana no Yu" is a day-use hot spring facility attached to Gotemba Premium Outlets. The large windows in the sauna room offer a lavish setting with sweeping views of Mount Fuji by day and beautiful night scenery by night. The heat from the dual-stove setup, combining a convection stove and a bouna stove, along with an excellent cold-water bath fed by Mount Fuji's blessed underground water, promises a supreme sauna experience. Its private spring, "Konohana Onsen," is known for its skin-beautifying benefits, and the view from the panoramic open-air bath is equally breathtaking.
Uses private spring water that bubbles up from the grounds. It has the qualities of a sulfate, chloride, and bicarbonate hot spring, and is beloved as a skin-beautifying bath that leaves the skin smooth. Its heat-retention effect is extremely high, so after bathing, your skin stays moist and supple while warmth lasts deep into the core of the body. Bathing while looking up at Mount Fuji from the panoramic open-air bath or standing bath is especially unforgettable.
A sauna room with a powerful sense of openness, where you can enjoy panoramic views of Mount Fuji through the windows. The double-heating system, combining a convection stone stove and a built-in bouna stove, fills the room with strong yet steady heat. Staff-led aufguss sessions are also offered, allowing you to enjoy dynamic sweating alongside the spectacular scenery.
A cold plunge bath lavishly filled with underground water of exceptionally high quality, unique to the foot of Mount Fuji. With a depth of 90 cm, it is designed to cool you from head to toe. Its smooth feel and crisp chill of around 16°C instantly refresh your overheated body after sauna use and guide you into deep totonou.
