Guests highly praise the variety and quality of the hot spring facilities, noting “the spacious open-air bath, relaxing cypress bath, sleeping bath, and waterfall shower are amazing.” The mildly salty, silky spring water is described as “soothing and nourishing for the skin,” while the open design of the outdoor baths provides “an exceptional sense of freedom.” Facilities like the spa zone, sauna, jet baths, and sand baths (extra fee) are also popular, though one reviewer mentioned that “operating the jet bath can affect other tubs.” Overall, the rich selection of bathing and relaxation options, paired with the peaceful countryside setting, makes this onsen a favorite for travelers seeking both rejuvenation and serenity.
The day-use hot spring can be used for a bathing fee of 700 yen. It is a popular lodging facility with open-air baths, sand baths, cave baths, and saunas.
