Hot Spring & Bath Information

Garden Public Bath Ichinoyu and Ninoyu, Golden Spring

TypeNatural Hot Spring

The famous Golden Spring can be enjoyed in the indoor baths and open-air baths of Ichinoyu, which is full of Japanese charm, and Ninoyu, which carries a hint of exotic elegance. The water turns a vivid brownish red when exposed to oxygen in the air, and is rich in iron and salt, giving it outstanding bathing benefits. The salt content forms a film on the body that helps prevent heat from escaping after bathing, so the warmth lasts for a long time. It is also known as the heat spring, and you can leisurely enjoy this superbly smooth, cloudy water.

Sansou-style Public Bath Golden Spring

TypeNatural Hot Spring

Located in the 9th-floor garden, Sansou is a public bath styled after a nostalgic hot-spring resort. By opening the large glass doors between the indoor bath and the open-air bath, the entire bathing area transforms into a space with the pleasant openness of a semi-outdoor bath. Surrounded by the warmth of wood, you can slowly soak in Arima's proud cloudy Golden Spring and experience the ultimate comfort and deep healing of a place where it feels as though you are living in a hot-spring retreat.
