A hot spring offering a spectacular view of the majestic Hibiki Gorge

The clear air of the morning, the panoramic view of the Hibiki Gorge unfolding in front of you, the sight of the morning mist quietly passing between the mountains, and the magical moment at sunset make you feel as if you are in another world. Enjoy a moment of complete purification as you lie on the long bench in the bath and let your body be enveloped by the comfortable hot water.

How to enjoy Hot Springs

01

Please wash your body before entering the bathtub.
Before entering the bathtub, be sure to wash your whole body to remove dirt.

02

Please pour the hot water on yourself before entering the hot spring. Pour the hot water from the ends of your body (hands and feet), and move gradually upwards to your head so as to acclimatize yourself to the temperature of the hot bath water.

03

Start with a half-body bath.
Gently enter the bathtub and start with a "half-body bath".
Gradually soak your body up to your shoulders in the hot water for the "full body bath".
It is recommended that you allow your body to float in the water and move your limbs to improve blood circulation.

04

If you start to sweat, please get out of the bath.
Get out of the bath when your forehead becomes sweaty.
To maintain the effects of the hot bath, do not wash your body after getting out of the bath.

Do not run around on the slippery floor, swim in the bathtub, or jump into the bathtub.

What is the secret of
ceramic balls

The interior of the stone bed bath is paved with crushed mineral-rich ores made of deposits of marine plants from thousands of years ago which are molded into a ball shape.What is the secret of the ceramic ballsFar infrared rays are emitted by slowly warming this with a heating pipe under the floor which generates negative ions. By spending about 30 to 40 minutes, your entire body will sweat which boosts the discharge of waste substances.
