The baths alternate daily between men and women, and both baths are equipped with an authentic dry sauna. The sauna room is spacious, allowing you to work up a good sweat while watching TV. After the sauna, cool down comfortably in the pleasantly chilled cold plunge bath. The open-air bath area also offers a space for an outdoor air bath, where you can forget the noise of everyday life and enjoy a deeply relaxing time while taking in Kyoto's uniquely atmospheric ambiance.

A cold plunge bath located in an easy-to-access spot from the sauna room. Its pleasantly cool temperature gently yet firmly tightens your body after the sauna. It is deep enough to let you sink in fully, so you can enjoy a comfortable cooldown. Another nice point is that after the cold plunge bath, you can smoothly move on to outdoor air bathing in the open-air area.
