Large rocks catch bather’s eyes first. The hot springs gush out from the rocks, and a lot of the hot springs overflow from the bath in succession. I think that the bathers never get tired of a view. The hot springs ingredients have precipitated on the rocks. The indoor bath is the size that about 10 people can take a bath.

The open-air bath surrounded by rocks looks like a pond of Japanese-style garden, and is the size that about 4 people can take a bath, and uses natural free flowing hot springs with adding water. The open-air bath is hotter than the indoor bath. Blind fencess obstructed the bather’s view, so a view is not good. But a roof is not provided, and a sense of opneness can be felt. The open-air bath has a faucet for cold water, so it is allowed to add the water for lowering the water temperature.

The hot springs are sodium sulfate chloride spring, and is clear and colorless and have a little salty taste and no smell. The sum total of the hot spring ingredients are 2.916 g/kg. The hot spring seemed to be drinkable, too, but there were not facilities for drinking hot springs. Shampoos and body soaps are provided at the bathhouse. Because a restroom is not installed at a dressing room, you should get a wash beforehand at the restroom along a corridor.
