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 4 poeple can take a bath, and both baths use natural free flowing hot springs. The hot springs flow from the large indoor bath to the small indoor bath, and the small indoor bath is slightly colder than the large indoor bath. In addition, the small indoor bath has a faucet for cold water, so it is allowed to add the water for lowering the water temperature. The bathers can enjoy overflowing hot springs gentlysoftly, too.
The hot springs are sodium and calcium sulfate chloride spring, and are clear and light green and have a little salty taste and no smell, and are not drinkable. The sum total of the hot spring ingredients are 1.429 g/kg. Because shampoos and body soaps are not provided at the bathhouse, the bathers should bring those.
