Saga Imari City
Enjoy Takeo's beauty bath and an authentic sauna right by the station
"Central Hotel Imari" is a business hotel in Imari City, Saga Prefecture. It also features a spa facility called Sentonoyu, equipped with an indoor bath, an open-air bath, a dry sauna, and a cold plunge bath for both men and women. Its greatest draw is the “beauty bath” using the spring water of Takeo Onsen, which has a 1,300-year history. This alkaline simple spring has a soft, gentle feel on the skin, and the open-air bath offers a magical bathing experience in a beautifully lit atmosphere. You can also enjoy an authentic contrast bath between the high-temperature dry sauna and the cold plunge bath. After your bath, relax in the lounge equipped with massage chairs and unwind from the fatigue of business or sightseeing, making for a comfortable stay.

A natural hot spring drawn from the source of Takeo Onsen, which has a 1,300-year history and is known as a beauty bath. This alkaline simple spring feels amazingly soft on the skin, letting you truly experience how smooth your skin becomes after bathing. In the open-air bath with a sense of openness, you can feel the pleasant breeze, and at night you can spend a high-quality, soothing moment in a fantastical, illuminated space.

A high-temperature dry sauna where you can work up a pleasant sweat. The quiet, calm interior provides an ideal setting for deeply focusing on yourself. Strong heat that warms you from the core envelops your entire body and thoroughly melts away daily fatigue and stress. After heating up properly, you can move smoothly to the cold plunge bath right next door.

Located right next to the sauna room, it lets you smoothly cool down your heated body after sweating. The thoroughly chilled water provides a pleasant刺激 and leads to deep relaxation through contrast bathing. After the cold plunge bath, you can enjoy open-air bathing at a relaxed pace in the spacious open-air bath area while feeling the night breeze.
