A dry sauna attached to the observatory large baths “Kobo no Yu” and “Sanbo no Yu.” In the compact room, where the gentle scent of wood drifts through the air, the strong heat efficiently envelops your entire body. There is no TV, and a quiet, calm atmosphere fills the space, allowing you to spend a meditative time focused on the view outside and your own heartbeat. Since the baths are alternated between men and women, you can enjoy sauna bathing with different scenery depending on the time of day.

A compact cold bath installed right in front of the sauna room. The crisp, cold, clear water effectively cools down your body after you have warmed up sufficiently in the sauna. Its moderate coldness feels pleasant on the skin and refreshingly tightens your heated body. Access to the open-air area is also easy, allowing you to smoothly transition to outdoor air bathing overlooking Lake Biwa, where the quiet lake breeze leads you into deep relaxation.
