About
Two bath halls take turns each week: Sachi-no-yu (幸の湯) built in stone, and Fuku-no-yu (福の湯) in Koya-maki timber. Both have indoor and open-air spring baths fed by carbonated natural spring water run fresh without recirculation (kakenagashi, 源泉かけ流し), plus a waterfall bath and vessel baths outside. One hall has a dry sauna, the other a steam sauna, each with a cold plunge. Private family baths can be booked on the day. The whole complex sits inside the Michi-no-Eki Yokawa (道の駅よかわ) roadside station.
