Bathing indications
The facility lists general bathing indications including cuts, sensitivity to cold, muscle and joint pain, fatigue and general health. These are not treatment guarantees.
The current bathing page lists ¥450 for adults, ¥250 for elementary-school children and free for younger children; reception ends at 20:00. Official pages conflict on whether the bathing tax is included or charged separately, so bring up to ¥600 and confirm at the counter. Spa-pool access is separate, and rock bathing is suspended. Tattoo rules are unconfirmed.
