Nagano Hakuba Village
Hakuba Himekawa Onsen and a superb Japanese herb sauna filled with the fragrance of Nagano-grown kuromoji
"Iwatake no Yu" is a day-use hot spring facility located just a short walk from the gondola base station at the foot of Hakuba Iwatake Mountain Resort in Hakuba Village, Kitaazumi District, Nagano Prefecture. The hot spring water is rich in minerals and salt, with a very gentle feel on the skin and outstanding heat-retaining properties, making it hard to cool down after bathing and earning it a reputation as a beloved spring known as the "warming waters." Its biggest pride is the newly added Kurojiso Sauna, created through renovation. Branches of Nagano-grown kuromoji, an aromatic wood, are hung overhead, and by spraying water from the bottle provided in the room, a refreshing Japanese herb fragrance with a hint of spice instantly fills the sauna, delivering invigorating sweating together with a wonderful aroma. A cold plunge bath using Hakuba's cool natural groundwater and superb outdoor relaxation on infinity chairs surrounded by a birch forest are also major attractions.
Hakuba Himekawa Onsen contains abundant salt and minerals similar to the components of seawater, and is nearly colorless and transparent, making it exceptionally gentle even on the delicate skin of seniors and children. Its strong heat-retaining power completely prevents you from cooling down after bathing, and it also helps protect the skin from dryness, earning it a reputation as both a warming spring and a beauty spring that wonderfully eases fatigue after activities.
A one-of-a-kind relaxation sauna with branches and leaves of Nagano-grown kuromoji, an aromatic wood, beautifully suspended overhead. By spraying the branches and leaves with the mist bottle provided inside, a Japanese herb fragrance with a spicy depth and refreshing character spreads through the room at once, letting you enjoy an ultimate sweating experience enveloped in exquisite aroma.
