"Chichibu Kawabata Onsen Bon no Yu" is a day-trip hot spring facility located along the Arakawa River in Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture. It prides itself on its bicarbonate-rich spring water, a sodium bicarbonate spring known for having one of the highest concentrations in the Kanto region, and is popular as a beautiful skin bath for its silky, distinctive texture that leaves the skin smooth. The sauna features a rare double-structure design, with a low-temperature room leading into a high-temperature room, allowing you to enjoy a thorough sweat session in two spaces with different temperature ranges. In the outdoor air bath area, where you can feel the murmuring of the Arakawa up close, you can spend a blissful totonou moment surrounded by Chichibu's rich nature. With an auto-camping site and a dog run on the premises, it is also a satisfying hot spring base for outdoor enthusiasts.
