Highlights
GanbanyokuAbout
A well-equipped day-use complex with a wide range of baths across indoor and outdoor areas. Indoors you'll find three tanks including a standing bath and a reclining bath. The outdoor section has the most variety: the source bath runs kakenagashi (かけながし, free-flowing fresh spring water) and the water is lightly cloudy with a noticeably salty feel that can tingle on the skin. There's also a carbonated bath, a small tub bath, an electric bath, a sauna, and a cold plunge. On the second floor, six types of ganbanyoku (岩盤浴, heated stone spa) come with a rest lounge stocked with manga and free Wi-Fi. A soba restaurant rounds things out.
