About

Indoors there's a main hot tub and a cooler one to ease into, and outside a rectangular open-air bath holds around ten people; there's no sauna or cold plunge. The water runs clear and faintly salty, with a soft trace of sulfur. This day-use complex is certified as a hot-spring health-promotion facility, pairing the baths with a training gym, an indoor onsen pool and an exercise studio. There's also ganbanyoku stone-bed bathing, a reservable family bath, and a seasonal foot bath and drinking fountain open April through November. It sits between Tendo and Higashine along the Midare River, with a restaurant on site and a spring view of Mount Gassan from the studio.

A sodium chloride spring with sulfate adding quiet body, drawn from a source that reaches 94.6 °C, among Japan's hottest natural sources. Mildly alkaline and soft on the skin, it is moderately mineralized with noticeable body, and a generous 106.6 mg/kg of metasilicic acid leaves a thin silica film that places it in the beauty-water family; for bathing it is documented for dry skin and cuts. It is also one of the rarer sources approved for drinking, documented for constipation and atrophic gastritis, though the posted notice caps intake at 220 ml a day because the water contains arsenic.
