Kawagoe Onsen

No bus to/from the station which is a 20 minute brisk walk. But the front staff were kind enough to provide phone numbers for different cabs back to the station. Otherwise a good Onsen with plenty of indoor and outdoor baths, steam room, sauna, lay-down pools, chairs and lounges to relax on. I went on a Saturday night and was definitely expecting it to be super crowded and by the looks of it when I arrived there, the parking lot seemed full. However inside the Sauna area didn’t feel as crowded somehow. Perhaps people were dispersed all throughout the facility which includes a good size restaurant, shop, massage, relax chairs, sleeping room and reading materials. Overall it was good and if i’m in the area, will definitely visit again.

This Spring spa is the my best Day Spa in Japan. Might only for me... Facilities are new(established in maybe 2009). You can enjoy many kinds of spa style here. Especially, there is an amazing bathtub in open air zone, that is so comfortable warm water temperature of the world! Usually I relax there for 3 or 4 hrs with taking naps... I don't live in Kawagoe but when my friend or I want to go to spa, we absolutely go there!! Of course I can speak Japanese, and many staffs don't speak English as well, so you'd be better to bring your fatigue, motivation, and some Japanese communications!

It's about 20 mins from the station and and the staff speak a little bit of English. There's a salt scrub sauna, four outdoor baths, one has a TV, and two lukewarm baths inside the building. They have a variety of spa options(akasuri, massages, and beauty salon), and have a cafeteria inside. The food was alright; the udon noodles I had were a little tough. All around it's a pretty average onsen.

Nice onsen! Staff were friendly and the facilities were clean. Of course, being a holiday it was crowded, but it was still nice to soak in a bath after a long day. English support is very limited. Staff are very kind and understanding, though! Easy to get in and out because of the ticket vending machine. It cost ¥850 for admission and another ¥400 to rent a face towel and bath towel.

The facilities of this onsen are fine but the water isn’t hot enough and it’s too crowded. It seems to be the only onsen in the area so everyone seems to go there but since the water isn’t hot enough it seems like people spend too much time in the pools.
