Main bathhouse
Of the two sources that rise in the indoor baths, the one filling the large tub is a sodium bicarbonate spring. A natural onsen fed straight from the source, never recirculated, it is so soft it seems to stroke the skin, and a lingering warmth stays with you long after you step out. Beyond the windows spreads the beech forest, and you can watch the seasons change while still immersed in the water. The water is said to help with cuts, burns and chronic fatigue, and it slowly loosens a body tight from walking in the mountains. The men’s and women’s baths are built the same way, so both offer the same water.
