There are 2 indoor baths, 1 cold bath and 1 sauna at a public bathhouse. The tiled bathhouse with a high ceiling and large windows is feeling good. The large indoor bath is the size that about 10 people can take a bath, and the small indoor bath is the size that about 8 people can take a bath, and both baths use free flowing hot springs. The hot springs overflow from the baths, and flow on the bath floor.


The hot springs are sodium chloride spring with moor hot spring, and are clear and brown and have a little salty taste and no smell, and are not drinkable because the public health center does not admit it. The sum total of the hot spring ingredients are 4.703 g/kg. The hot springs are like moor hot spring, but those do not contain humus, so I suppose that those are not the moor hot spring. Shampoos and body soaps are not provided at the bathhouse, so bathers should bring those. A restroom and free hair dryers are installed at a dressing room. There is a free cold water dispenser at a resting room.
