Large Public Bath Okumigage no Yu
TypeNatural Hot Spring
A signature large public bath at Naraya, set within a beautiful heavy timber building infused with history. It was named after the story of Okumigage no Yu, from which Kusatsu hot spring water was drawn and presented to the Tokugawa shoguns in the Edo period. Carefully temperature-controlled through the traditional skill of a Yumori, it allows guests to enjoy Shirahata Source, astonishingly mellow and gently softened, as free-flowing natural hot spring water. The high ceiling and the wooden warmth rising through the steam create a deeply atmospheric bath.
