Five Private Onsen Baths, No Booking Needed

• ♨️Five baths with seven tubs in total, one open-air, two indoor-plus-open-air and two semi-open-air, are all private-use.

• 💧The calcium-sodium sulfate-chloride water is clear and smooth, said to be good for skin inflammation and cuts.

Rooms with Open-Air Baths and Stone Saunas
