Uses natural hot spring water
One 2024 Google review doubted this was a real onsen ('the sento, I don't believe it's an onsen'); kept official spring-quality statement, which is more authoritative.
Enclosed indoor bathing area
Private onsen bath in guest rooms, for overnight guests only
Home page says only 'some' rooms have it, though the stay.md room-type pages list 檜風呂(温泉) as equipment for every listed room type.
Shared bathing area for all genders
Allows entry with visible tattoos
Welcomes children and families
Restaurant or dining open to visitors (not just hotel meal plans)
Dinner/breakfast service (サウスポール/ノースポール) is mainly for lodging guests, but a lunch service (10:00-14:30) and the golfers' lounge (カナロア, 07:30-11:00/14:00-18:00) are also documented for day golfers.
On-site or nearby parking available
Southern Cross Resort is a golf resort hotel on a hilltop above Ito, with views toward Mount Fuji, the Amagi mountains, and Sagami Bay. The indoor baths, separate for men and women, are built of hinoki cypress with big windows that let in natural light, and several room types add a private hinoki tub filled with the same onsen water. The water itself is colorless and light on the skin, the kind of gentle spring that works for kids and older guests alike; the resort calls it itawari no yu (いたわりの湯), a caring water. The spring is said to date back to the Heian period, and the resort notes it was once presented to the shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu in the Edo era.
