Fukushima Fukushima City
A luxurious bathing experience through three natural spring sources, ending in blissful rest with a crisp, cold cold plunge bath
Iizaka Hanamomonoyu is a day-use hot spring facility in Iizaka Onsen, Fukushima City, Fukushima Prefecture. It has three different natural spring sources with distinct water qualities, allowing guests to enjoy the famous waters of Iizaka in a variety of baths. The sauna area includes a dry sauna on the men’s side and a steam sauna on the women’s side. A highlight is the distinctly cold cold plunge bath, which quickly cools down your heated body and delivers a refreshing burst of revitalization. With outdoor bathing while overlooking a beautiful garden, it offers a luxurious space where you can enjoy a modern sauna experience in a historic hot spring town.
A luxurious hot spring where you can enjoy three natural spring sources: Hanamomonoyu, Enju-no-Yu, and Yakushi-no-Yu. Each has a different feel and different benefits, and you can savor a multi-bath hot spring tour across a wide range of indoor and open-air baths. From the famously hot waters of Iizaka Onsen to milder baths that you can soak in at leisure, it offers the full restorative power of hot springs to the utmost.
A full-fledged dry sauna equipped with sauna stones. Pleasant heat fills the room and gently encourages deep, thorough sweating. The clean, calm atmosphere makes it easy to forget the daily hustle and relax. It pairs perfectly with the cold cold plunge bath after sauna use, letting you fully enjoy the classic contrast bathing experience.
A skin-friendly steam sauna wrapped in plenty of moist vapor. The gentle, low-temperature heat softly warms the entire body and relaxes both mind and body. Because it feels less suffocating, even those who are not good with saunas can stay comfortably for a long time. The power of the steam also leaves the skin supple and hydrated, bringing deep relaxation.
A cold plunge bath whose crisp, cold temperature is its pride. It instantly cools down a body heated by the sauna and tightens the blood vessels for an overwhelming sense of refreshment. Though the tub is compact, its coldness is highly regarded even by sauna enthusiasts. The route to outdoor bathing after the cold plunge bath is also well designed, supporting the best possible refreshment experience.
