Hitachinaka Onsen Kirari Bettei

A polished adult-oriented spa for an early start, sauna time and a longer rest. Its open-air area includes both filtered-circulation pools and a separately identified source-flowing pool, so the whole outdoor bath should not be described as flow-through. Preschool children are not admitted, and tattoos are prohibited.
