Bathing indications

In March 2026, fuel supply problems temporarily shortened opening hours; normal 10:00–22:00 hours resumed on April 25. The Kuma River Railway had not fully reopened as of September 20, 2026. From Yunomae Station, the facility is about 5–10 minutes by car or taxi; day visitors should not assume they can use a free shuttle.
