ラウレアリゾート

June 2022 I went there for the first time. I was told there were only about 14 parking spaces, but I arrived early in the evening and was able to find one. The facility was quiet and clean. I put my shoes in the shoe locker and left the locker key at the nearby counter. I received my locker key and went to the second floor. It seems you pay after use. There's a rest area, a men's bath, and a women's bath. The layout is also simple. The changing rooms were also simple. It still feels new and is generally clean. Now, the indoor bath. The shower water is lukewarm. It's a temperature that's perfectly safe even for small children. The floor is actually tatami! It's non-slip and feels great on your feet. First, I washed my body and head. The partitioned washing area was spacious. What I really liked was that the body soap, shampoo, and conditioner were all made with horse oil and had a cherry blossom scent. They seemed to be good for my hair, and both the shampoo and conditioner were great. You can barely see the mirror, but I didn't think it was a problem, but it would be great if they replaced it with one that does. The indoor baths were lukewarm, with two massage options, a sauna, and a cave bath. The open-air baths were also lukewarm. I have a rather finicky tongue, but I'm a bit of a cat, so I couldn't have felt better. Three large tub baths. The cloudy spring water was about 40 degrees. The carbonated bath was about 41-42 degrees. The rest area was a clean, uncluttered room with tatami mats, about 12 tatami mats in size. The only vending machine was just in front of the room. The cafe on the first floor was closed due to the coronavirus, but they sell gelato and cakes. The prices are a bit high for a simple bath, but it's not crowded or crowded, so I recommend it for those looking for a relaxing, quiet, and luxurious experience. Also, for those who don't like very hot water, I can confidently say this is an excellent hot spring facility!! My monthly relaxation time. I loved it.

This relatively new super sento opened in 2018. It's not located on the grounds of any commercial facilities, but in a somewhat unusual location in a residential area halfway between Mukonosho and Tsukaguchi. It appears to be run by a nursing home next door. The water is a 42.1°C sodium chloride bicarbonate spring that springs from 800 meters underground, and is a pale green color. The source spring is used in the open-air bath, where it is poured free-flowing. It's odorless, and the taste isn't salty, but rather has a slight, hard-to-describe flavor. The bathtub is about 40°C, and doesn't contain many nutrients, so you can soak for a long time without worrying about getting sick from the bath. The facilities are similar to those found in a typical super sento, but the tatami floor is a nice touch. It helps prevent falls, and I wish other facilities had something like this. There's little parking, so it's not crowded and I can easily get there by bicycle, making it a convenient hot spring for me.

This super public bath is run by an adjacent nursing home. There is a parking lot with 14 spaces, but if it's full, you can use the nursing home's parking lot. There's also a coin-operated parking lot nearby. Parking is 200 yen for 60 minutes during the day and 100 yen for 60 minutes overnight. I visited on a Sunday afternoon and it was empty. The building was quiet and I could barely hear anyone talking. The restaurant was spacious and had a row of tables, but it was closed on the day I visited. The baths were fully equipped with all the necessary amenities: natural hot springs, free-flowing spring water, carbonated springs, a tsuboyu (small bath), a reclining bath, a jet bath, and a sauna. Each bath was reasonably spacious, and the warm water allowed for a relaxing soak. The open-air area featured an artificial waterfall, a thoughtful addition for bathers' enjoyment. For the 600 yen price, it was more than worth it.

Laurea Chosei no Yu. It's been a few years since I last visited. A hot spring with artificial carbonated spring water. The facility is clean and beautiful. The carbonated spring water is known as the "Heart Bath," and has long been popular in Germany and Italy. It feels great. I thought it would be quiet between 3:00 and 5:00 PM, so I decided to drop in. There's an ice cream corner on the first floor, a free space on the second floor, and a yoga space. People are taking naps and relaxing after their baths—it's a really relaxing space. Adults: 725 yen Children: 450 yen Children (ages 3-5): 350 yen Payment is cash only, with payment upon arrival. I forgot my wallet and panicked, but I happened to have some coins on hand, so I was able to bathe. Next time, I'll come back to try the ice cream on the first floor after my bath. *Public bathing will close on July 31, 2023. How sad. .

The low price is a major draw; even with the bathing tax, it's great to find a hot spring bath in this area at a price comparable to a public bathhouse! They have both regular natural hot springs and free-flowing hot springs, but the hotter ones are too much for me... the lukewarm ones are just right. Personally, I love the steam sauna; it's not just humid, but it also has a bath inside (lol), something I've only seen in a few places. You can even inhale the hot spring water through your breath during a half-body bath – I love it! There's also parking available at the nursing home across the street. Overall, it's good, but instead of focusing on the cafe and other stylish features, I wish they'd clean the floors a bit more.
