About operations in 2024Steam spewed out from the floor of the lower accommodation building, the roofs of the upper and lower accommodation buildings were damaged, and the hot water shed in the administration building was damaged. Therefore, this year we are only open for day trip hot springs without overnight stays. By the way, we are closed on Tuesdays and business hours are 10:00-15:00. Also, two sets of chairs and tables were set up in front of the administration building, so you could take a break.

Normally, it opens in June, but as of June 24, 2023, it was not open. It looks like it's still under construction, so it looks like it'll take a little longer to open this season.

GW is still snowing.Even if the snow is gone, the opening will be delayed if the snow damage is severe.The bath is small, so you should go when it's not crowded. Some people stay in Ondol.
