Check before bathing

Tattoo policy
The current facility profile does not confirm a specific tattoo policy; check with the bath if needed.

Spring & water temperature

Spring-source temperature
Not applicable; no natural spring is confirmed.
Bathing temperature
Older association material lists the medicinal bath around 45°C, white bath around 41°C and outdoor bath around 40°C. 2026 visitor readings of 15–22°C for cold baths are date-specific, not fixed operator settings.
Spring classification
Ordinary public bath; no legal natural-spring source is confirmed. Rotating medicinal baths and limited-time bathing agents are not natural hot springs.
Water handling
The facility lists white-water, medicinal, outdoor, jet and sauna pools. Earlier Tokyo bathhouse association material describes two men's cold pools as flowing; current sauna listings call the water groundwater. This does not establish a natural spring or the treatment of every hot bath.

The profile identifies late closing at 01:30; temperature observations are not guaranteed settings.
