Soaking in these waters while surrounded by a 180-degree panoramic view and the glittering nightscape of Aizu is an unforgettable experience. The spring water is a mildly alkaline sodium-calcium sulfate-chloride spring with excellent moisturizing and heat-retention effects. The large bath area is also equipped with a full-fledged dry sauna and a gentle mist sauna that leaves the skin feeling refreshed. This is a special space where breathtaking scenery, hot springs, and high-quality sauna experiences come together for the ultimate reset.
