I stopped by here during a trip. The parking lot in front of the store is large, and there's a large lawn across the street. It seems they also have things like park golf. It's a wonderful environment. The facility is clean and the break room is spacious. The cafeteria felt a little cramped, but it seems like you can eat items purchased there. There were also manga available. It seems like a great place to relax if you have the time. As for the bath, it appears to be a hot spring ♨️. It seems to circulate and keep the temperature up. Shampoo and body soap are provided. The indoor bath pales in comparison to a super sento, but there is also an open-air bath, so you can relax there if it's not crowded. The sauna is small, so it can only fit a maximum of 5 people. I would prefer to use it with just 1-2 people. The sauna was filled with a refreshing mint scent. It seems to be a rare Bonatherm & Aufguss sauna. The temperature was 92°C. There seems to be a stove under the chairs, so the heat waves come from below, warming your toes, but it's a humid sauna. I later learned that Aufguss is like a loyly sauna. I definitely felt like there was a gentle breeze from below, but it seemed to vary depending on where you sat. To find a good spot...try looking around. I think the cold bath was around 18°C? There's a bench next to the open-air bath for outdoor bathing, but as a sauna lover, I'd prefer a bed or chair. If they're promoting this unique sauna, I wish they'd better provide a more comfortable relaxation area. The price is 600 yen for adults, which is a good deal for a hot spring facility with a sauna. The receptionist was very friendly and explained everything to me when I told her it was my first time. It was quiet, so I was able to enjoy the sauna at my leisure. It felt great! 🎵 The indoor and outdoor baths, as well as the sauna, are all small, so I'd like to visit when it's quieter. I'll definitely stop by again if I'm in the area.

Quote from the Yu-Yu Land Hanatsubaki website "The Bona-Samm & Aufguss Sauna, only installed in three locations in Japan, generates steam using a special method and circulates the air inside the sauna, creating a consistently soft and comfortable atmosphere. The sauna's special air freshener, rich in negative ions, also provides excellent aromatherapy benefits." Admission is ¥600 for adults. This sauna was highly recommended by the elderly woman at the reception desk. It had just been renovated, so it was new, clean, and had a lovely aroma, but the sauna was small and could only fit four adults. It was a weekday during Golden Week, so it was quiet, but if it's crowded, you'll probably have to wait in line and not be able to relax.

You can enjoy day-trip hot springs, including an open-air bath. There's also a shared lounge where you can relax, and you can enjoy a meal in the on-site cafeteria. There's a pond next to the facility where you can enjoy fishing, so there's plenty of light leisure activities in the area. There are also many tourist leaflets about Nanto City available inside the facility, so it's a good place to gather information and as a base if you get lost. The color of the water changes depending on the day and weather. When I visited, it was a cloudy brown, so the staff warned me to be careful when bathing as steps and other obstacles are not visible.

This facility is located in Nanto City, Toyama Prefecture, surrounded by lush mountains. ♨ Natural hot springs leave your skin feeling silky smooth, and there's even an open-air bath!⛰️🌳 This facility boasts a rare "Bonatherm & Aufguss Sauna," one of only three in Japan!‼️ Once an hour, you'll be thoroughly infused with aromatic water, leaving you piping hot! (*´ω｀*)✨ The admission fee is ¥600 for adults, but if you're a JAF member (up to two people, including yourself) or present your AEON Card, you'll receive a ¥100 discount! Plus, the food is delicious! The staff were friendly and courteous. The facility is closed on Wednesdays.

I came here on the fourth day of the New Year 😌♨️ The hot springs and sauna were aromatic. The scent was so nice and relaxing. The masseuse was a woman, and she was very skilled. I was able to shake off the fatigue of the New Year and feel refreshed. The food was mostly noodles 😄, and there were also a la carte dishes, so it was a great day for a day trip to the hot springs. The after-meal coffee ☕ came with a Nanto mini taiyaki. I finished off with some soft serve ice cream 🍦, and it was a wonderful day.
