村山温泉 かたくりの湯

Rating 3 The combined price for the pool and bath (towels, etc. not included) was 900 yen for adults (it was a Saturday at the time, so the price may be different on weekdays and may also vary between Murayama City (proof of residence required) and outside of the city). I only used the bath, but it was 900 yen. Payment is postpaid, and cashless payments such as credit cards are accepted. In exchange for your shoe locker key, you receive a locker key band for the changing room. Hair wash and other items are provided, and hair dryers are free. Lockers for shoe lockers and valuables are 100 yen refundable. The changing room lockers are easy to store bags in, but the automatic closing doors make them difficult to use. There are both Western-style and Japanese-style baths, and it seems the men's and women's baths are switched. At the time, it was a Western-style bath, and the indoor baths included a daily changing bath with medicinal bath salts, a hot bath with one jet bath (not as hot as Kanamoriyu), a 15°C cold bath (a round tub that was too small for many people), carbonated springs, a mist sauna (there was no dry sauna, and I knew it was a mist sauna when I saw it from outside before entering).Next, there were the Western-style cylindrical waterfall baths (there were two, each at a different height, so the strength of the fall varied, and there was also a stone pillar chair so you could sit and let the water hit your back), and an open-air bath.

My kids had a concert at MetLife Dome, so I used this bath while waiting. There was a large parking lot, but the bath area wasn't as spacious as I expected, and in fact, it felt quite small. The bath I used was a Western-style bath with four indoor baths and one outdoor bath. I think there were about 15 washing areas. (I don't know about the Japanese-style baths, but the men's and women's baths switch on odd-numbered days.) The hot spring contains metaboric acid. The water temperature was 22.9°C and heated. It had a strong disinfectant smell, like a pool, and I felt like I was in a heated pool rather than a hot spring. (There is a pool on site, though...) I went on Sunday, November 28th, around 3:30 PM, but there were a lot of noisy children, so it wasn't a very relaxing time. I thought it would get crowded as the number of people gradually increased, so I left early. The price is also a bit high for non-city visitors, at 800 yen for adults on weekdays and 900 yen on weekends and holidays, and the holiday rates are rather unhelpful. You need to pay 100 yen for the shoe lockers, but getting yours back is the only saving grace... You hand over the shoe locker key at the reception and receive a key for the changing locker, and you pay the fee later. There's a soba restaurant where you can enjoy a meal, but as a hot spring lover, I don't think I'll go to this hot spring again.

From Musashi-Yamato, I cycled along Tama Lake Street for the first time in decades and headed to Katakuri no Yu. There were three road bike racks and a large parking lot. Even though it was a weekday, there were only about 10 people there in the morning. I enjoyed alternating between the large carbonated spring, hot water, square open-air bath and cold water bath. There are bicycle paths along the shores of Lake Tama and Lake Sayama, so it's a great location for a stroll. Added 1/16/2023: Due to no applications for a designated manager, the facility will be temporarily closed from April 1, 2023. On March 9th, I confirmed the sign announcing the closure from April 1st. There are only a few days left, but I would like to visit the south side of the bath (left side as you face it) on even-numbered days.

Government run sento and Spa, including restaurant, body care, massage service and other amenities. Local snacks, agriculture products and other necessities are also sold, including shampoo, towels, fresh produced drinks, hygene products like socks, shaver, toys for the spa, swim wear etc. Nothing fancy just good basic things. Lots of car parking, it helps if you speak Japanese as it's country side

I have no bad comment at all but the reason, i don't understand is, we can enter the hot bath nake*.(d) but for pool,Why we need swimming wear?🙄おかしい. Almost, i had good time with hot bath. Outside and inside hot bath.✌️💪. And we came here second days of opening. Coz it had been closed since the virus spread whole over Japan. Still, there is few customers.
