SPA&SAUNA Suisyun Hattori-Ryokuchi

A newly built super-sento costing 1800-2200 yen in the north of Osaka. Officially opens on June 5, 2026, but I managed to visit the pre-opening with colleagues. On the first floor, there is only the entrance; on the second floor, shoe lockers, but after that, there is no usual reception — you just pass through a turnstile and that's it. The key to the shoe locker becomes your account for all main services (so strictly one key per person, including children). The second floor has a beautiful lounge area and restaurant: lots of greenery, mirrored ceilings, and decorated in black-beige tones with wooden accents. There are massage chairs, a children's play area, and massages. There is also a "business lounge" for an additional fee (access requires special clothing). From here, there is access to a terrace for eating and walking outside. The third floor has changing rooms and the baths themselves. On the first floor, there is ganbanyoku (hot stone spa) for an additional fee and a fitness area (also separate). Indoor area: a large 37°C bath with various massage jets (7-8 types) and electric baths (4 types, from one ⚡️ to four ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️, and even the weakest electric bath bent me into an arch), a "milk" bath at 39°C with two electric jets inside (for lower back and chest), a hot bath at 43°C, a large dry sauna (with TV), a steam sauna with Chinese herbs and salt, two cold pools (a deep one 1.5 meters at 13°C and a regular one at 15°C). The water here seems to be ordinary tap water everywhere. Outdoor area: two stone rotenburo (open-air baths), the lower one at 39°C is claimed to have natural water, but today it had ordinary clear water (different from the photo renders on the website), the upper one at 43°C is claimed to be gensen-kakenagashi (direct source water flow), which is clearly not true because the source is 26°C — they heat it up — and it was the only one with rusty water. There is a carbonated water bath at 38°C with a TV above it, opposite the TV are 8 individual seats with side partitions. A small sauna (for 6-8 people) with the possibility to add steam, next to it two individual cold tubs. Three individual tubs at 43°C (the sign says it should be natural water, but it seemed ordinary), 7 loungers. From the outdoor area, over a small fence, there is a view of a grove opposite, which is illuminated in the evening, plus behind the outdoor area there is a decorative bath with LED lights on the bottom. Source: sodium chloride, weak radon, 26°C, pH 7.8, rusty color, slight smell. No opportunity to photograph the analysis in the changing room, and it is not yet posted on the website. Pros: - large territory and many baths - beautiful rotenburo with a view of the grove - everything is new, beautiful, and modern - towels included in the price - close to the subway Cons: - quite expensive, with two price levels: 90 minutes and unlimited (the level is automatically determined at payment on exit) - the route from the subway station is not well thought out — it's unclear how to get there, you have to go around the parking lot to the building, unclear where to go, although the station is close, we had to wander - concerns about transport accessibility and by car — there were traffic jams in this area even before the super-sento was built, now it might be very difficult to get past it, parking is also shared with Hattori Ryokuchi Park (number three) Overall, definitely a cool place, I will occasionally relax there. 2026-05-31
