Property overview

Overview

Fugaku draws centrally managed Gero Onsen water. Its public baths use partial discharge and recirculation, with some heating and chlorine-based sanitation; the inn separately describes its reservable private bath as free-flowing. The panoramic baths are reached by stairs, and the hinoki bath in the designated suite room is not a natural hot spring.
