good points・A wide variety of baths, spacious.・Sauna around 100 to 110 degrees・The cold bath is also spacious and can easily accommodate 4 to 5 people.・I only stayed once, but the room was clean.Points to note・The sauna is not very large, so depending on the time of day it can get crowded and you may not be able to use it. It's empty in the morning and an hour before closing.・Many families visit from the afternoon to the evening, so if you want to enjoy it slowly, it's best to go in the morning.・As there is a chicken farm nearby, the open-air bath smells like chicken manure depending on the time of day. People who are sensitive to smells may not like it.

I went there for a day bath. The atmosphere of the facility has an old-fashioned feel, but it had a nice atmosphere and was very nice.However, I don't approve of them tolerating customers with tattoos. I feel sick.

The parking lot is large, there is a shoe box with a lock, there is a box for valuables in the plaza and changing room, so I felt very safe! There are many baths, there is an open-air bath and sauna, the electric bath is the best, and it is healthy. I felt the effect!! The paid massage chairs in the plaza felt great! There is also a TV, vending machines, and food. It's leisurely, slow, and fun, so it's the best way to relax, so I bought a coupon 🥰

There are a wide variety of bathtubs, two saunas, and plenty of washing areas, so you can relax and enjoy yourself. However, the changing room is hot, so in hot weather you'll sweat when you put on your clothes, so I think it's better to take a cold bath or a cold shower before coming out.

Since the hot spring water is circulated instead of flowing directly from the source, there is some hair floating in the bathtub, but I like the quality of the hot spring water. The free rest room is also spacious and you can take a good rest. It's very crowded on weekends and holidays, but the bathtubs are spacious so it doesn't bother you that much.

The hot water is very nice. Even if it's crowded, it's spacious, so you won't have to wash your body. There is also a sauna.
