Omiya and Railway Museum, Kita Ward, Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture
Ofuro Cafe utatane
A flexible two-to-six-hour stop from Omiya for baths, sauna, coffee and a place to rest, with morning and late-night options. It uses transported spring water rather than a local Omiya source; visitors with tattoos need the facility's specific cover seal.

Spring & water temperature
- Spring-source temperature
- The source temperature at Hakuju-no-Yu is not assigned as utatane's local spring temperature; the amount transported is not published.
- Bathing temperature
- No fixed current temperature is published for the transported-water outdoor bath.
- Spring source
- Transported spring water from Ofuro Cafe Hakuju-no-Yu; utatane does not use a spring emerging in Omiya.
- Spring classification
- The facility describes Hakuju-no-Yu as a sodium-rich, strongly saline chloride spring.
- pH
- Not published for transported water at this facility.
- Flow rate
- Not applicable as a local Omiya spring yield; the amount delivered is not published.
- Water handling
- Current information confirms transported Hakuju-no-Yu water in the outdoor bath. A 2023 event page said water was added because the spring is highly concentrated, but the 2026 main bathing page does not republish full current details on transport, water addition, heating, circulation and disinfection.
