Hot Spring & Bath Information

Iwa no Yu

TypeNatural Hot Spring

A dynamic bath area lavishly decorated with rugged natural rock. It has the atmosphere of a secluded mountain hot spring, with a large indoor bath and an open-air bath. Filled with the mild waters of Tamatsukuri Onsen, famous for its skin-beautifying effects, the bath offers a silky, clingy feel against the skin. Enjoy a graceful soak while listening to the sound of the waterfall and admiring the autumn leaves that change color with the seasons.

Hinoki no Yu

TypeNatural Hot Spring

A bath area that prides itself on its beautifully renewed tubs made of Japanese cypress. The fragrant scent of hinoki gently drifts through the steam, bringing a deep sense of relaxation. You can luxuriate in the skin-beautifying waters along with the smooth touch of the cypress. From the open-air bath area, you can overlook a Japanese garden with raked sand patterns and a serene, traditional atmosphere, and at night you can linger and lose track of time as bamboo lanterns glow enchantingly.

The heat is mild and less likely to feel stifling, making it suitable for sauna beginners and for those who want to work up a good sweat at their own pace. In the calm space, you can spend a quiet, meditative moment and slowly feel the pleasant warmth.
