This was my first time at Gokurakuyu, and it was excellent. It opens at 6:00 AM, and the restaurant opens at 10:00 AM. There was a long line even before it opened, which showed how popular it is. The parking lot is also very spacious, so it seems like you won't have any trouble finding a car. The facility is very spacious, and while the baths are a little further back, there are massage rooms, a restaurant, a rest area, a game corner, and plenty of manga. Wi-Fi is available, and the connection was smooth. The lockers in the changing room are low, allowing you to see the entire area. At first, I found this a little strange, but it was actually very convenient, as you can store your belongings on top of the lockers. There are both ReFa and regular hair dryers, and I think there are more than enough. The bath area offers a variety of options, including a jet bath, carbonated spring, and electric bath. I spent most of my time in the open-air bath, but the experience of soaking in a tub bath during a snowstorm was truly amazing. There's also a salt sauna, which even I, who normally dislike saunas, was able to enjoy. When I massaged the salt into my face, I could really feel my skin becoming smooth. I was also grateful that there was a cold water dispenser in the changing room. After my bath, I rested in a reclining chair, and there was a women's-only area, so I felt safe. The restaurant, which opened at 10am, had very friendly staff and I enjoyed my meal. I would definitely like to use this facility again. Thank you very much.

This onsen is the first to reject a customer with tattoos when tattoos are covered. Do not go to this onsen.

Onsen is clean and beautiful, has many features but the heat generators in some rooms operate too slowly.
