SPA&SAUNA Suisyun Hattori-Ryokuchi

I rated the lounge area — it's really cool here — spacious, green, huge bookshelves, lots of nooks, benches, loungers, tables, armchairs, a whole row of reclining chairs (a couple of dozen, plus several separate ones for women), about ten capsules where you can lie down, several meeting rooms with power outlets and monitors, and a separate coworking zone with semi-isolated booths with power outlets, plus a shared open table with power outlets. And almost all of this was fully occupied! (Yes, people really came here to work! I couldn't — it's so chill.) The lounge is available without extra charge, the only condition is to change into lounge clothes.

Spa & Sauna Suishun Hattori Ryokuchi, Osaka A newly built super-sento in northern Osaka, ¥1,800 to ¥2,200. It officially opens on June 5, 2026, but I managed to get in for the pre-opening with some colleagues. On the first floor there is only the entrance, on the second floor there are shoe lockers, but after that there is no familiar reception at all, you just go through the ticket gate and that’s it. The shoe locker key becomes your account, and all the main services are charged to it, so it is strictly one key per person, including children. The second floor has a nice lounge area and a restaurant, with lots of greenery, mirrored ceilings, and a black, beige, and wood-accent interior. There are also massage chairs, a kids’ play area, and massage services. There is also a separate “business lounge” for an extra fee, with a special outfit used as the pass. From here you can also go out to the terrace for eating and walking outside. The third floor has the changing rooms and the baths themselves. On the first floor there is ganbanyoku, for an extra fee, and fitness, also separate. Indoor area: a large 37° bath with various massage jets, 7 to 8 of them, and electric baths, 4 of those, from one ⚡️ to four ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️, and even in the weakest electric bath I was bent into an arch. A “milk” bath at 39° with two more electric spots in it, one for the lower back and one for the chest. A hot 43° bath. A large dry sauna with a TV. A steam sauna with Chinese herbs and salt. Two cold baths, one deep at 1.5 meters and 13°, and a regular one at 15°. The water here seems to be ordinary tap water everywhere. Outdoor area: two stone rotenburo. The lower one, 39°, is listed as natural water, but today it had ordinary clear water, which differs from the photo renderings on the website. The upper one, 43°, is listed as gensen kakenagashi, which is clearly not true because the source is listed as 26°, so it is reheated, and this was the only one with distinctly rusty water. A carbonated-water bath at 38°, with a TV above it, and 8 individual seats with side partitions facing the TV. A small sauna for 6 to 8 people with the option to add steam, and next to it two individual cold barrels. Three individual 43° barrels, with a sign saying they should have natural water, but it seemed to be ordinary water. 7 loungers. From the outdoor area, over a small fence, there is a view of the grove opposite, which is also lit up in the evening, and beyond the outdoor area there is a decorative bath with LEDs at the bottom. Spring: sodium chloride, weak radon, 26°, pH 7.8, rusty in color, with a slight smell. I couldn’t take a photo of the analysis in the changing room, and it still hasn’t been posted on the website either. Pros: - large in both area and number of baths - beautiful rotenburo with a view of the grove - everything is new and nice, very modern - towels are included in the price - close to the subway Cons: - a bit expensive, and the pricing is split into two tiers, 90 minutes and unlimited, with the tier calculated automatically when you pay on exit - they did not think through the route from the subway station, it is hard to figure out how to get there, you have to go around to the building through the parking lot somehow, it is not clear what goes where, even though the station is close, I still had to wander around - there are concerns about transport access by car too, there were traffic jams in this area even before the super-sento was built, and now it may be really hard to get past it, the parking lot is also shared with Hattori Ryokuchi Park, lot number 3 Overall, definitely a great place, I’ll drop by to soak there from time to time. 2026-05-31
