- The day-use public baths use a circulation system. The inn says it limits sodium hypochlorite and uses silver ions for hygiene. Its 100% source-flowing private bath, Yu-an, is reserved for overnight guests and is not part of day use.
Bathing indications
The inn lists fatigue recovery, general health maintenance, cuts, peripheral circulation problems, sensitivity to cold and dry skin among its bathing indications. These are not treatment guarantees.
The day-use baths use circulation and the inn describes its hygiene measures. The source-flowing claim applies only to Yu-an, a private bath for overnight guests.
Admission is ¥1,000 for elementary-school children and older, ¥700 for children aged three and up, and free for children under three. Yu-an is not available to day visitors; it is a 60-minute overnight-guest option listed at ¥3,850. Tattoo rules are not confirmed in the current profile material.
