Relax17:30

onsen flowing directly from the source
Enjoy mist sauna

onsen with an abundant amount of water that gushes out from the source on the premises. The spring quality is a soft “alkaline simple onsen”. There are various baths waiting for you, such as the 24-hour private cypress bath and the mist sauna, which is less suffocating.

After taking an open-air bath, lie down in the courtyard and toast with a cold beer!
