Nagareyama Otakanomori, Nagareyama, Chiba

Spa Metssa Otaka Ryusenji-no-Yu

Spa Metssa Otaka is worth a visit even if you skip the hourly Dragon Loyly: the three sauna styles, deep bath and natural-spring area give you other ways to shape the session. Go early if you want more room; the hourly event is only one part of a busy facility.

Spring & water temperature

Spring-source temperature
Not published
Bathing temperature
Not published as a fixed value. The 157 cm figure describes water depth, and a sub-10°C cold bath is a cold-bath setting, not spring temperature.
Spring source
A natural hot-spring source is confirmed at the facility; the current profile does not identify a source name
Spring classification
Natural hot-spring pools are present; a current property-specific analysis was not confirmed in readable text
pH
Not published
Flow rate
Not published
Water handling
The natural spring pools are separate from the facility's carbonated and functional baths. Current readable material does not establish complete treatment conditions for each pool.

Bathing indications

No spring-specific bathing indications are added without a current readable facility analysis.

Dragon Sauna's five HARVIA stoves run a synchronized Dragon Loyly at the top of each hour; ordinary 10-minute automatic loyly is a separate event. There are three distinct sauna concepts, a 157 cm deep-water bath and a natural-spring section. Tattoos require complete coverage with up to two designated 9.5 × 14.0 cm seals.
