いなほの湯

[Dry Sauna] When you think of a Bade Zone pool, you might imagine a gentle temperature like a gym or resort, suitable for senior citizens to use as a gathering place. But Inaho no Yu is different! The drum-shaped stove is covered in stones, and the Showa-era heat reaches a whopping 90 degrees! The sauna room, which can seat up to eight people, is surprisingly popular with local ladies. I've been getting a bit sick of hearing about it lately, but the ladies' chit-chat is refreshing! To be honest, it's not a place where you'd expect bikini-clad ladies to frequent, but it's worth visiting on a weekend or holiday and hoping for a miracle. [Cold Bath] At first glance, it looks like a kiddie pool, and I was expecting it to be lukewarm, but it was ice-cold, beyond my expectations. I can see why local ladies frequent it so frequently. [Spa Area] There are plenty of them in the bathrooms in the Bade Zone and outside the pool area!! The garden outside the glass doors is especially full of reclining chairs, where local older guys were sunbathing. 😎 [Bath] To be honest, the Bade Zone is much more well-equipped, with features like a non-sensational Jacuzzi and super jets, and even cold/hot alternating baths!! There's even a waterfall bath that's been dormant since 2011 lol As for the Spa Zone, there's a high-temperature? Jacuzzi, a large indoor bath, and an open-air bath♨️ The large bath is an artificial calcium spring with about three pressure baths! The open-air bath is a non-sensational bath! The garden is dead space, so it would be fun to follow the example of nearby Hare Niwa no Yu and install a barrel sauna and turn the open-air bath into a cold water bath🤣 [Rest Area] The tatami-style restaurant space is quite spacious, and there's even a barley tea and cold water dispenser for the rest area, so it's a great addition!! The restaurant menu is also well-made, and everything looks delicious!! Overall, Inaho no Yu is a facility you'll want to visit often, which is rare for a third-sector establishment! It's rare to find a mixed-gender facility with a Showa-era feel, and since even people from outside the city can enjoy it for just 500 yen, it's definitely worth coming from far away!!

The water is heated using waste heat from an incineration facility, so it's not a hot spring. You're required to wear a swimsuit, but you can access the spa zone from the changing room, which also has a sauna. The all-inclusive price of ¥500 for both the bathing and spa zones might be a bargain! (lol) The bathroom features one open-air bath, one large bathtub with a jetted tub, and one jetted tub. There are 10 shower-equipped mixer faucets. The water temperature is just right, around 40-41°C, and the jetted tub in the large bathtub hits the shoulder blades, so it might be good for those with stiff shoulders. The jetted tub is very comfortable, as it sprays water onto your lower back, calves, and soles of your feet when you sit and stretch your legs. The area from Kuki to Kazo is limited, so this affordable option is easy on the wallet. There's also a restaurant on-site, and the evening menu offers a wide variety of snacks, so if you can arrange a driver or hire a transportation service, you can even have a party after your bath (lol). Amenities included Price: ¥500, with an unlimited stamp card Dozens of baths available Water Quality: ★★☆☆☆ Price: ★★★☆☆ Service: ★★★★☆ Facilities: ★★★★☆

This bathing facility uses heat from waste incineration. First, you put 100 yen into a coin-return shoe locker to leave your shoes. If you're traveling with a large group, it's a good idea to prepare your coins in advance to avoid delays. Adults can enter for 500 yen. The men's bath has a large bath, a small jacuzzi, and a small open-air bath, and there seemed to be quite a few washing areas. There is no sauna. The only amenities provided are body soap and rinse-in shampoo. In the changing room, there was a sink with a hairdryer and a small scale. Unfortunately, the service seems a bit lacking compared to nearby super sento. Strong points include it's often quiet, the admission fee is low, and access to the heated pool and sports grounds is available.

The water and the inside of the bath are always clean, so I used to go there often, but the other day I noticed what looked like feces on the mat under the water dispenser. I don't know if a physically disabled person had used the bath, but when I think about the possibility that they had used the restroom and not been able to clean up properly, I can imagine all sorts of things and I'm afraid to go there, so I'm thinking I might not go again. Is there anything that can be done for people who are in diapers or can't do things by themselves?

June 30, 2025 - Bring your swim trunks today. You'll be able to enter the swimming zone with these. When I arrived at 09:30, it was full of elderly people... The sauna is two-tiered and can fit about 10 people. It has a reclining bath, cold water bath, and jacuzzi. There's also a nap room...perfect for dealing with the heat on a hot day. All for just 500 yen. I went during the holidays and it was empty. You need swim trunks to use the sauna! Never enter the hot spring zone naked! So I couldn't use the sauna! 400 yen seems like a fair price!
