Goreisen

May 11, 2024 (Saturday) I went for the first time. I arrived at 10:00 AM. There were a few cars parked in the parking lot; it's quite spacious! *Note: You cannot use the sacred spring directly on the day of your visit; a sacred spring ticket is required. You can receive several tickets depending on the amount spent on prayers, purification rituals, etc. The sacred spring is on the second floor. There is a restaurant on the first floor. Although it's called a sacred spring, it's not a public bathhouse; there are only two bathtubs and about five small individual tubs. Upon checking in, you are given a locker key and an empty plastic bottle. The lockers are small, so it's inconvenient if you have a lot of luggage. I'm glad it's not a 100-yen refundable system. The hot spring water was just the right temperature, and the water quality was very pleasant. Body soap and shampoo are provided, so you only need a towel. Since the water is drinkable, you can fill your empty plastic bottle with the spring water and enjoy drinking it while soaking in the sacred spring. What surprised me was how cheap the food on the first floor was!!! Mitarashi dango (rice dumplings with sweet soy sauce glaze) seems to be the most popular item; at only 50 yen a stick, it's so cheap that people buy dozens at a time, so it takes a while for your order to be ready. We ordered tempura udon, onigiri (rice balls), oden (Japanese stew), and mitarashi dango. I'd like to go again using my Goryosen (hot spring) voucher.

On korokoro sendari matougi sowaka Cheap, close, and short. The weather was nice, so I went on a weekday, Tuesday, at 1:30 PM. I took a dip in Goreisen after lunch. Oh! The parking lot is full! Goreisen is on the second floor of Ichibata Oji Kaikan, the building next to the parking lot. I handed my ticket to the reception and received a locker key and a bottle of water. That's right! Goreisen, a drinkable hot spring. They gave me a bottle to take home. They said it was a little crowded. But it wasn't too bad. The windows facing the outside were open, so it felt like half of the bath was an open-air bath. I soaked in the sunshine, refreshing and relaxing.♨️ After my soak, it was time for a late lunch. Ah, I'd love a beer.🍺 I came alone, so alcohol isn't allowed. Ordering is done by purchasing a meal ticket at the entrance. This was my first time eating there, so I didn't know about it. Lucky Oden (3 skewers) for 250 yen Goreisen Lucky Soba (350 yen) Hmm, I'm full now. But oden is so cheap. I guess they're not trying to make a profit by providing the food. Thank you, I finished it all. On korokoro sendari matougi sowaka

The rain from last night stopped this morning, and I visited on a sunny morning as the sun was getting stronger. After receiving a special prayer and purification, I received a ticket to bathe in the sacred spring and went in. The spring water is alkaline, and the water has a smooth feel. When I handed over my ticket at the reception, I was given an empty 500ml plastic bottle, allowing me to take home the only drinkable sacred spring water in Aichi Prefecture. Many people, perhaps locals, brought many containers with them. The bathing area has two baths that can accommodate about 10 people each, and five individual ceramic baths with different effects, each feeling subtly different. There were also visitors from overseas. On weekends, the changing rooms are crowded, and everyone was considerate of others, making sure not to disturb those next to them. The parking lot is spacious, but if you plan to use the sacred spring, I recommend using a sunshade or similar to prevent your car from getting too hot. I opened the window just a little and put up the sunshade.

＊＊＊September 30, 2025＊＊＊ I visited the temple to see the sacred spring. After paying a 1,500 yen prayer fee, you receive four sacred spring tickets (bath tickets). They were valid for eight and a half months. You have to return within the validity period, but 375 yen per visit is a great deal. The bath area isn't particularly large, but it's well-equipped with plenty of washing stations and shampoos. There are two large bathtubs and five single-person baths. There's no open-air bath, but the bay window was fully open, so soaking in the bathtub by the window felt open and refreshing, and it was very pleasant. I had some moon-viewing soba noodles in the dining room. They were topped with fried food and a rolled egg, and were delicious and not too monotonous. I also had some hanami dango (cherry blossom dumplings) later, which were light and not too sweet. The photo shows only a part of the menu, but the udon and soba noodles were available in Kake, Zaru, Tsukimi, and Tempura.

It's a hypotonic cold mineral spring. It's heated so it's not cold. It's a simple alkaline hot spring. It's naturally clear. There are two large baths, and five Goemon baths, each with an inscription of a blessing. The large bath isn't an open-air bath, but the large bay window is open, allowing a nice breeze to flow in. The view was beautiful, and I had a very pleasant time. The occasional bell ringing was also a nice touch. Soaking in the hot spring while listening to the bells is the best. There's a food and drink corner where you can try udon, soba, rice balls, dumplings, and oden. Everything is delicious and reasonably priced. It's no wonder this place is so popular! The reclining golden Buddha statue is also a must-see. They offer services such as goma wood burnings, prayers, memorial services for unborn babies, and doll memorial services. Almost any wish can be accommodated. I'm truly impressed.
