Guide

What visitors add

The water

Sodium-chloride spring (two reviewers name the type; one cites the source name 前橋駅前温泉くりまの湯). One reviewer details: source 55.4°C, 156 L/min pumped, pH 7.5, 4,235.7 g dissolved solids, 0.6 g iron, tub water brown, kept around 42°C in winter and 41°C in summer. At least four reviewers describe brown/iron-tinged water (one seeing reddish particles floating), and three reviewers compare the quality to Ikaho's Kogane-no-yu / Atami.

stated by 8 visitors · Jan 2026 – Jul 2026

Water handling

At least seven distinct reviewers describe the baths as genuine kakenagashi (free-flowing from the source); one notes the overflow from the tub shows abundant discharge, and another says both indoor and outdoor baths are natural onsen water.

stated by 8 visitors · Apr 2026 – Aug 2026

Outdoor bath & sauna

There is an outdoor bath (at least six distinct reviewers; two note it has a TV, one with sound) and two saunas — dry and steam/mist (three distinct reviewers state both types; one calls the dry one a tower sauna with TV). A cold-water bath exists (four distinct reviewers), though one found it not very cold and one couple reports the men's cold bath is set colder than the women's. Bath variety is limited: one reviewer counts only one indoor bath, one outdoor bath and the cold bath, and another notes there is no carbonated bath.
