Bath
TypeNatural Hot Spring
A rare natural open-air bath with spring water bubbling up from beneath your feet, one of only about 20 such places nationwide, preserving the same form it has had since its founding in 1915. Connected to Lake Shikotsu by a water gate, the depth of the bath changes in response to the lake level, ranging from about 45 cm to 160 cm depending on the season and weather. The spring water that bubbles up from between the gravel laid across the bottom is a smooth, rich cloudy bath of sodium-calcium chloride, bicarbonate, and sulfate spring water. You can experience the finest bathing in a hidden hot spring, one that fully unites you with nature.
