Radon hot springs Zipangu from the Sea of ​​Japan, and Yao natural hot springs.Yes, it wasn't a natural hot spring in the past.But I've loved it for a long time.The current quality of the hot spring water is a little black with a lot of minerals.Almost all of the baths are filled with hot spring water, so you can spend a very luxurious time. A drinking fountain faucet is also provided.There is a cold bath next to the hot bath, where you can receive the Kinrei method on your whole body.It's fun that the open-air bath is now a walking bath.The sauna and steam are piping hot, so we recommend it for those who want to get in shape.All the baths have a high level of amusement, and the hot water is so good that you'll want to go again.From 5pm, it's half price, so it's a good idea to buy a nighttime ticket.However, payment is only in cashAlso, when I went there for the first time in a while, they had a shaver but no toothbrush.When I asked the person who checked inside the facility, it seems that they stopped offering it during the coronavirus and are still doing so... I guess they are trying hard not to raise the price, but this is actually a price increase.I gave it a 3 star because it is a day-trip hot spring facility where you can also go to the theater, and although there is a sign warning people who don't take hot baths, they don't have toothbrushes. I hope they bring back toothbrushes because they can raise the price🙏If it comes back to life, I'll return it.

Go to Yao Gura for sauna purposes! ![Time zone]Used for overnight stay. Used yesterday at 3:30pm and today at 7pm.【sauna】The sauna room is large and hot! And the water bath is deep! ! And then there was a paradigm shift in the famous Yao Matagi. Sauna → cold bath → boiling water → waterfall in the cold bath → boiling water → cold bath → outside air bath made me feel amazing! ! This is a drug. lol【hot spring】The quality of the hot springs was excellent! ![General facilities]It's old, but that can't be helped.

I love Akasuri and have received Akasuri at various places, but the Akasuri staff here are Japanese, so I was able to communicate with them, and they are veterans with many years of experience, so I was very satisfied. Thank you again.

A sacred place of alternating hot and cold baths.If you go there every day and take a bath, your insomnia and depression will be cured. I believe that if you raise the temperature of the steam sauna and turn it into a herbal sauna like Shikiji in Shizuoka, it has the potential to become the best sauna in Japan.

From October, when you can just take a hot spring bath, you can take an early morning bath from 4am to 8am for 1,000 yen.We also sell 7 early morning tickets for 6,000 yen, making it even cheaper.

The men's and women's large public baths are actually sourced from a historic hot spring called "Yao Natural Hot Spring."All baths are 100% chloride/bicarbonate hot spring. (The source was also drinkable)Your skin will become very smooth, and I think it's worth it just for the hot springs alone, but there are plenty of bathtubs and it's quite fun.The first thing worth mentioning is the hot water.On this website, it is recommended to alternate between taking a hot bath, which is naturally adjusted to about 46 degrees Celsius, and a cold bath of 15 to 16 degrees Celsius, which is right next door, as an activity called hot and cold bathing, which is extremely refreshing. It was an interesting experience.It was an unforgiving 46 degrees, and the hot water was flowing around my feet, so it felt even hotter than that, but after taking that bath, I immediately went to the cold bath next to it! Soak in it.After cooling your body in the cold bath, you immediately take a hot bath next door...This repetition was a new experience.There were quite a few people doing this, including regulars, so it was quite crowded...(゚Д゚;)The sauna is also high temperature, and of course there is a flow of going from sauna to cold bath to outside air bath on an open-air chair, but I felt that this hot and cold bath was more relaxing. (I just feel like it)The steam sauna is also interesting, the steam is quite hot, but there is cold water flowing over the chairs, so the difference in temperature is quite pleasant and you can take a long bath (long steam?).I thought this was well thought out.

The baths are old, but the hot water baths, cold baths, herbal baths, and saunas are refreshing.Watching the theater is also great!
