It serves the historic spring water Ikaho is proud of, Kogane no Yu, as a full free-flowing natural hot spring in the open-air bath, while the indoor baths use the clear, silky Shiragane no Yu. In the authentic dry sauna attached to the large public bath, automatic löyly is performed every hour, and you can also enjoy an intensely cold rock cold plunge bath in the open-air area and the ultimate outdoor air bath from the deck chairs.
