Bathing indications

The facility lists spring-specific indications including cuts, peripheral circulation problems, sensitivity to cold and dry skin, alongside general bathing indications for chronic muscle or joint discomfort. These are not treatment guarantees.

Renovation closure began on 31 March 2025; the operator announced reopening on 1 October 2026. Announced adult day rates after reopening are ¥2,420 on weekdays, ¥2,860 on weekends and public holidays, and ¥3,190 on peak dates; after 17:00, ¥2,090, plus bathing tax.
