There are 1 outdoor bath, 1 indoor bath, 2 whirlpool baths, 1 sleeping bath, 1 cold bath, 1 dry sauna and 1 wet sauna at the Ryujin-no-Yu. There are 1 outdoor bath, 2 indoor baths, 1 whirlpool bath, 1 sleeping bath, 1 cold bath, 1 dry sauna and 1 wet sauna at the Himawari-no-Yu. I took a bath at the Himawari-no-Yu. The tiled bathhouse with high ceiling of 7.2 m is feeling good.

The large indoor bath is the size that about 12 people can take a bath, and uses heated hot springs with adding water. The small indoor bath is the size that about 3 people can take a bath, and is changed medicated bath depending on seasons. When I visited here, it was sunflower broth bath. The round whirlpool bath is the size that about 4 people can take a bath, and the sleeping bath seats 2 people. The baths use heated water.

The outdoor bath surrounded by rocks is the size that about 6 people can take a bath, and uses heated free flowing hot springs with adding water. I felt that only hot springs of the outdoor bath was brown and hotter than another indoor bath. A sence of openness may not be felt because a gazebo is built on the outdoor bath. Unfortunately, the sunflower field can not be enjoyed while bathing because the open-air baths are surrounded by blind fences.

The hot springs are sodium chloride spring, and are clear and light yellow and have salty taste and no smell, are not drinkable, but it is considerably salty taste. The sum total of the hot spring ingredients are 14.85 g/kg. Shampoos and body soaps are provided at the bathhouse.
