Gokurakuyu Kashiwa Store

It opens at 7am on weekends, so I arrived early. There were surprisingly many cars in the parking lot, but it wasn't too crowded. In the morning, it seemed to be mostly solo travelers and elderly couples. In the afternoon, the number of young people and families increased. By evening, the rest area was quite crowded. The rest area was smaller than it looked in the photos. However, the dining room was spacious. There are one indoor and two outdoor baths, as well as a jacuzzi, an electric bath, and a cave-like bath. I think the water temperature is a little low. The mapo tofu I ordered for dinner was quite spicy, so it went down well with rice. The fried chicken set meal was incredibly crispy and delicious. It seems like you could easily spend a whole day there, but towels are an additional charge. There are no change of clothes, so if you plan to go in multiple times or lie down in the rest area, it might be best to dress casually. If you plan to use the bedrock bath, don't forget to bring that with you. Wi-Fi is available, but charging is not.

There are a fair number of garden chairs, so waiting for rest is unlikely. Amenities Shampoo, conditioner, and body soap provided. Bath The bathtub is typical of spa facilities. The tub temperature is not adjustable, which I personally found to be a minus. There were few families, and I think the general public was well behaved.

I went today.(2024.03.18).I’m a first time foreign visitor. I can’t read Japanese so unknowingly went to burdock sleeping area. I saw water at the entrance and felt thirsty so I got a cup of water for me. A female staff came to me with a pot saying I can’t drink the water it’s only for the customers who paid for sleeping area. I apologized to her. I was holding my baby girl in one hand and water cup in the other hand. She took the cup form my hand that I was drinking and throw the water to sink and put the cup to dumpster. What kind of hospitality is that. What a rude thing to do. She didn’t ask me to do that. She took the cup by herself even after I said it was mistake. I felt so bad. The staff shouldn’t behave like this. Politeness, and kindness is necessary you can’t be that much rude and unpleasant towards someone in the workplace.

Located in the Kashiwa area, we wanted to a change from our regular bath house in Matsudo. The main entrance is nicely presented with many shoe lockers. The front area has fresh vegetables and food products. There is a food dining area, kids zone, relax area. One smoking room. The bath shower area is a little small. But was ok when i went. Theres was soda wine bath and sauna located in the front area. Theres one extremely hot bath outside. It was easy around 50c. Super hot! But relaxing. Theres a bigger shallow bath area to the left. 2 smaller bath with jet stream. But the highlight was the steam sauna with salt. I feel super relaxed! Price was around 900¥. Apparently theres a free shuttle his running from Kashiwa station.

On Tuesdays, we offer a special rate of just 500 yen for the stone sauna. 🎶 By 1 AM, it's practically reserved. 🎶 The open-air cauldron bath generates steam every five minutes or so, making it hotter than a regular sauna. 💦 The salt makes you sweat quickly, but you can't stay in it for more than 10 minutes. 😂 The far-infrared tower sauna has about five levels, so you can choose the thickness you like! Is the open-air rock bath (natural hot spring) rich in salt? My body warmed up quickly. ♨️ When it dried, my skin felt sticky, which was great. ✨ I had a relaxing stay. 😊
