Hot Spring & Bath Information

Kanogawa Onsen

TypeNatural Hot Spring

A natural hypotonic alkaline cold mineral spring boasting a high pH of 10. The water has a uniquely smooth, silky texture with a pleasant slipperiness that leaves the skin feeling moist and encourages the shedding of old keratin, earning it popularity as a beautifying hot spring. Large glass windows offer sweeping views of Lake Kanogawa so you can relax with a long soak. The spring is also expected to help with fatigue recovery and neuralgia, and the pleasant warmth lingers after bathing.

A compact dry sauna. A stove fitted with relatively large sauna stones radiates powerful heat at a high setting above 90°C. There is no TV in the room, only a sand timer, so you can focus on your own body in the silence and sweat deliberately. The sauna delivers a strong, concentrated heat, giving a refreshing, intense sweating experience even in a short time.

The cold plunge bath is located just beside the sauna room. It is carefully kept at around 16–18°C to rapidly cool and tighten the body heated in the sauna. The depth is sufficient to submerge up to the shoulders for a full cool-down. After the cold plunge, sit on the benches in the outdoor area, which is gender-swapped on odd and even days, and enjoy outdoor air cooling while feeling the crisp mountain air and gentle breeze.
