Tosa Ryu Onsen

Tosa Ryu Onsen is a privately sourced spring that boasts one of the highest mineral concentrations in Kochi Prefecture. Its iron-rich, golden cloudy water is a chloride spring with strong heat-retaining effects thanks to its salt content, and it stays warm even after you leave the bath. In particular, the outdoor tub bath is offered as a luxurious free-flowing spring bath, allowing you to feel the power of fresh hot spring water directly. It is also expected to have skin-smoothing, beautifying effects, and has long been loved as a soothing bath for relieving the fatigue of pilgrims. The indoor large bath is spacious as well, so you can leisurely enjoy the rich hot spring ingredients.
