Bathing indications
The facility describes the warming and moisturizing qualities of chloride-spring water. These are facility statements, not a medical treatment guarantee.
General admission is ¥800 for adults on weekdays and ¥900 on weekends and public holidays. The 7 September 2026 maintenance notice listed a morning session from 06:00 to 08:00, closure from 08:00 to 17:00, and planned reopening at 17:00. Treat that as a dated special schedule, not the ordinary daily timetable.
How to read a bath profile
Spring-source temperature and actual bathing temperature are kept separate. Each score is shown independently for comparison rather than collapsed into one overall score.
