A scenic open-air bath on the top, 11th floor. The spacious tub allows you to stretch out your arms and legs comfortably, and it is kept at a pleasant, comfortable temperature. The open-air area is lined with reclining seats and totonou chairs, letting you enjoy sky bathing in the fresh air while admiring the lights of cars passing by the Kameyama Interchange, the starry sky, and the breathtaking view of the sunrise.
A quiet dry sauna with no TV, located in the men’s bath on the top, 11th floor. Its three-tier bench design is a defining feature, and the upper level near the ceiling lets you bathe your whole body in comfortable radiant heat and powerful warmth. The crisp heat slowly and deeply warms you to the core. In the stylish, calm space with its natural wood texture, you can spend a meditative sauna session while listening to your own heartbeat.
A stylish cold plunge bath for one person, prepared in the men’s large bath. It lets you cool down your heated body all at once after the sauna. The moderate cold is pleasantly refreshing, with a sharp feel against the skin. Access to the open-air relaxation area in the scenic outdoor bath space right next door is also smooth, guiding you to the ultimate totonou experience with the shortest possible flow.
