About Washinoyu
"Washinoyu" is a bathing facility in Kanagawa Ward, Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, that boasts natural hot spring water gushing from approximately 200 meters underground. Two large baths with different atmospheres, "Noten-no-Yu" and "Shinrin-no-Yu," are available on alternating days for men and women. Its biggest highlight is the 100% natural hot spring black water source, passed through Hokutolite from Akita Prefecture's Tamagawa Onsen. It also offers a "high-concentration carbonated spring" that blends this black water with highly concentrated carbon dioxide, strongly supporting beautiful skin and overall health. The sauna is a genuine dry type with excellent perspiration, and the cold plunge bath luxuriously uses the black water source as flowing water straight from the spring. This smooth cool-down experience, wrapped in the components of the hot spring, is truly worthy of being called a "town bathhouse for therapeutic bathing."
