It costs 450 yen to enter. There's an open-air bath, three indoor baths, a cold bath, and a sauna. It's a salt spring, so it's quite salty. Parking is available next to the photo shop.

The salt water is quite high in salt. The spring water has an excellent mineral feel! However, the changing room is a bit of a concern.

The water was too hot, so I couldn't stay in for long. It was great to experience that "classic public bath" feeling!

I was amazed to see a local old man shaving his beard in the sauna.
