Lukewarm BathAbout
Izumi no Yu is a day-use bathhouse on a hill above Hirakata, on the site of the former Spa Valley Hirakata Minami before a renovation and rename in January 2024. The outdoor bath looks over the neighborhood, and reviewers note a good sunset and clear stars at night; outside there are also individual tsuboyu (壺湯) pots. Indoors there's a carbonated soak, a jet bath, an electric bath on the women's side, and a pool kept notably lukewarm for a long, easy stay. The sauna runs automatic steam bursts with a cold plunge right by the exit, and there are three ganbanyoku (岩盤浴) rock-bed rooms for an extra fee. The basement rest area, once limited to ganbanyoku guests, is now open to anyone bathing, with manga and a kids' corner, and the attached restaurant, La Colline, can be visited on its own.
