Fugaku
A riverside stay with a reservable free-flowing private bath
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.
