This hot spring and road side market, flowers shop and coffee restaurant serve both local and tourists in Chonan, Chiba. Have been living in Chiba, sotobo last 10 years and an onsen lovers , i have been looking for real one ( pure hot spring water) and reasonable range ( 30mins drive) then found out this hot spring is quite surprising. It was open 2019 so had been around 5-6 yrs old. Openness, quite well designed as home town , not too commercial and not too small as normally Chiba areas onsens . With 2 large indoor, 1 large out door with 3 individual tubs,100% pure hot spring water, one stream or sauna room depending with side for men or women, 20 washing areas then it is good for whoever comes. I deeply appreciate and feel happy to have one to call my own place in this whole side of Chiba Sotobo. I wished i found this out sooner than now.

Over 10 yrs living here I personally never see any big troubles earthquakes, land slides or tornados . It is peaceful and easy living town and now it has it owned hot springs service for everyone. Thank you for your hard work and support.

This hot spring is very clean and well-maintained. The entrance fee is 800 yen for non-residents, but I still think it’s worth a visit if you’re in the area. The indoor bath is about 40°C, while the outdoor bath is around 36°C, making it comfortable to soak in for a long time without overheating. In the hot summer, it feels especially refreshing—you dip in, step out, and the air feels cool against your skin. The hot spring water itself is similar to seawater. If you only towel off, your skin can feel quite sticky after it dries. As the signs in the bathhouse also mention, it’s best to rinse thoroughly before leaving. Personally, I felt it was even better to wash with soap once after soaking. One thing to note is that after the building’s shops close, there are no vending machines available inside the premises, so you’ll need to cross the street to a supermarket or convenience store to buy drinks. Parking is plentiful, and there’s also a grassy open space, which ma

I was searching for natural hot springs near Kisarazu and found this one. As it's located inside a roadside station, there was a farm-to-table shop next door. The facility felt new and clean overall. The water was a unique dark water, likely a strong salt spring containing sodium iodine. When I soaked in the tub, it felt like the water was enveloping my skin in moisture, and it felt really nice. It seems like there are a lot of hot springs with this type of water in this area. What's great is that the temperature isn't too high. The indoor bath is just over 40°C, while the outdoor bath is kept at 38-39°C at this time of year. It felt so good that I stayed in the bath longer than usual, for two hours straight. Prices are divided into those for local residents and those for non-residents. It's no surprise that there were quite a few people there, even though it was a weekday afternoon.

[Summary] The facility is clean overall. It is attached to a roadside station. The average price per person at roadside stations is a little high. The parking lot is spacious. A bus is also available from Mobara Station, but it runs about once every two hours. [Hot Water] The current admission fee for the hot spring is 800 yen. It has a strong odor and is a unique hot spring that may not be to everyone's taste. The color is brown. It is a very concentrated hot spring (high salt concentration). The indoor bath is a free-flowing bath, allowing you to see the mineral deposits. The open-air bath has no roof, giving it a more open feel. The bath area is average in size. [Overall Review] In terms of experiencing rare hot springs, this is a must-visit for hot spring and spring quality enthusiasts.

Used on a weekday around 4pm. 700 yen with the JAF discount. It was quite busy even though it was a weekday. The sauna is relatively spacious, but it was full to capacity. I wonder if the type of sauna changes weekly. It seems to switch between men's and women's. This time it was a high-temperature sauna, which was neither good nor bad. There was a large window that allowed you to see the view outside, so it gave a nice sense of openness. The hot spring water was black. I'm not particularly interested in the quality of the spring water, so I couldn't tell the difference. Personally, the lack of a reclining bath is a minus. I'd like to lie down and look at the sky. Overall it was clean, so if you're nearby it might be worth it.
