"Kintarou Onsen Karuna no Yakata" is a hot spring facility in Uozu City, Toyama Prefecture, boasting one of the highest sulfur concentrations in Japan.

The sauna is equipped with a dry sauna. Its greatest attraction is the free-flowing cold plunge bath using underground water, where clear natural water gently yet intensely cools the body after sauna use.
