A chloride spring rising from deep underground, with excellent heat-retaining and moisturizing effects. It is characterized by a mellow, salty texture that leaves the skin feeling moisturized after bathing and helps prevent you from getting chilled afterward. At this large-scale garden open-air bath, said to be one of the largest in Ise-Shima, you can enjoy natural hot spring water across a rich variety of baths, including all-hinoki tubs, a rustic rock bath, reclining baths, waterfall baths, and walking baths. The courtyard also includes a foot bath and a drinking spring said to help stimulate digestive activity.

Panoramic Large Bath

Located on the top floor of the hotel, this panoramic large bath offers sweeping views of the calm Matoya Bay spread out before you. In the morning, you can enjoy the sunrise tinted in a soft reddish hue, and at night, the romantic seascape stretching in deep navy blue. The spacious indoor bath is filled with high-quality chloride spring water that retains heat well. Soaking while gazing at the beautiful shoreline that changes with each passing moment promises a luxurious sense of openness and a supreme relaxation experience unique to a remote island inn.
