Korakuen holdings inc. runs it. at present. An entrance fee to the bath facility is JPY 500.

A large public bathhouse and a dressing room are renewed in 2017. This article before renwing is as follows.

There are 1 outdoor bath, 1 indoor baths, 1 whirlpool bath, 1 sleeping bath, 1 cold bath and 1 sauna at the large public bathhouse. The sunny bathhouse with large windows and a high ceiling is feeling good. The indoor is the size that about 10 people can take a bath, and uses heated 100% natural free flowing hot springs. Bathers can look at the open-air bath through the windows. The whirlpool bath is the size that about 4 people can take a bath. The sleeping bath with a whirlpool stands 3 people, and both indoor baths use 100% natural free flowing hot springs.




The outdoor bath is the size that about 8 people can take a bath, and uses heated 100% natural free flowing hot springs. Because it with a roof is close to the wall, a sense of openness may not be felt. In addition, trees disturb bather's eyes, unfortunately a view from the outdoor bath is not good. But the bathers feel a sense of openness on a garden.

In addition, a soft serve ice cream made from milk produced in "Bekkai-no-Gyunyuya-san (べつかいの牛乳屋さん)" is sold at a resting place. The price is JPY 250. Because fresh milk is used, the soft serve ice cream melts immediately.
