Gifu Ibigawa Town, Ibi District
The ultimate herbal totonou, created by Ibuki medicinal herbs and an icy cold plunge bath
"Kasuga Morimori Mura Refresh Hall" is a sacred place for medicinal herbs in Ibigawa Town, Gifu Prefecture. Its biggest signature attraction is the herbal bath, lavishly blended with 11 kinds of medicinal herbs gathered from the foot of Mount Ibuki. The sauna comes in two varieties, a dry sauna and a steam sauna filled with the rich aroma of medicinal herbs, which you can enjoy on a weekly rotation. A highlight is the stainless steel cold plunge bath, filled with fresh water drawn from the mountains. In winter, the water can drop to single-digit temperatures, sometimes even around 5°C, and its crystal-clear quality is highly praised by sauna fans. The outdoor bathing area, surrounded by the air of the forest, is also exceptional.
Although it is not a natural hot spring, this "Wa-no-Yu" is blended in-house with medicinal herbs from the foot of Mount Ibuki. Eleven kinds of herbs, including dong quai, peony root, and senkyu, release their components into the deep khaki-colored water. Its distinctive, fragrant aroma and the power of the herbs that warm you from the core deliver a sense of satisfaction that rivals a hot spring.
A dry sauna equipped with a convection stove. Regular water pours help maintain the room's humidity and temperature, while powerful heat penetrates deep into the body. A faint herbal aroma lingers in the room, helping ease both physical and mental tension. (Rotates weekly between men and women)
A steam sauna where the room is filled with the rich aroma of medicinal herbs. Powerful steam erupts at regular intervals, enveloping you in vapor dense enough to block your view. You can inhale the beneficial compounds of the herbs, which also provide gentle moisture that is kind to the skin and throat. (Rotates weekly between men and women)
Fresh water drawn from the mountains is lavishly poured into a stainless steel bath for one person. The water is exceptionally clear, and its clingy, skin-hugging feel is a defining feature. The temperature changes with the seasons, and in winter it can drop to nearly 5°C. You can experience a wild, refreshing cooldown.
