Its convenient location, excellent facilities, and relaxing ambiance make it a must-visit spot for those who appreciate the art of relaxation.

The onsen itself for the most part is fairly well equipped and of decent quality, even though it isn't quite as modern as some others in roughly the same price tier that I've been to. My main issue is with pedestrian accessibility. Though it is less than 15 minutes from Yamada station, unless you're coming here by car the route to the place is clunky and hard to navigate. The footpath is deceptively winding towards the final approach, and right before you reach the actual building you will inevitably be walking through a pretty large parking lot.

I enjoyed my experience. The dressing room is very spacious, in the onsen itself there are great many stations to wash oneself, and multiple pools. I especially enjoyed four mineral pools outside. What I missed was foreign bank card payment option (clearly serves mostly domestic customers), and more stations to dry hair/wash face, these did not feel adequate compared to the sheer capacity of the place.

Started with a very mediocre meal, double the price of any other restaurant, then entered a sento not a onsen but at a premium price! And all of that just for being asked to leave when undressed after them swing an inked skin. Worst part of it, just undressing prevent you from asking any refund of any sort!!!!! Worst 2500¥ spend in 30min Run away from this place!

Excellent onsen in Suita, Osaka! Staff was super friendly and helpful. The onsen has a indoor and outdoor area. Both are very nice! The saunas are also excellent and I enjoyed the salt tub very much. I really recommend this onsen as well as the restaurant next to it for a nice dinner!
