Hot Spring & Bath Information

Togoru no Yu

TypeArtificial Hot Spring

An artificial hot spring offered in the open-air bath. It uses the rare weathered mineral "Togoru Warmtite" sourced from near Tochiomata Onsen in Niigata Prefecture. The water dissolved with this mineral lightly stimulates the skin, promoting metabolism and improving blood circulation. It excels in heat retention, moisturizing, and cleansing effects, and helps to relieve muscle stiffness. Our facility is the only place in the Ueno area where you can experience Togoru no Yu. After the sauna and cold plunge bath, soaking while exposed to the outdoor air warms you from the core and relieves fatigue.

The main sauna room of Hokuyo. A spacious three-tiered space with a perfect balance of high temperature and humidity. Self-löyly is possible, and when you pour aromatic water on the sauna stones, rich steam rises in the room. As depicted in the drama "Sa-do," it is a space where sauna enthusiasts quietly face the heat. Sitting on the upper tier increases the perceived temperature, allowing for deep sweating in a short time. In a quiet environment without a TV, you can have a meditative sauna experience.
