About

Three separate hot-spring sources feed six baths here, split evenly between the men's and women's sides: two indoor tubs and one open-air bath each. Each one feels different: one runs pale and faintly sulfurous with a light salt taste, another comes out clear and hot, and the outdoor bath is the mildest of the three. There's a sauna at two temperatures plus a cold plunge, and the washing stations are stocked with shampoo and body soap. On site there's a restaurant and a paid rest hall for lingering afterward. The place draws a strong local following and fills up fast after opening.
