Guide
What visitors add
The water
The main bath runs hot — 4 distinct reviewers call it hot or slightly hot (one older review says fiercely hot before a later temperature adjustment), against one reviewer who found it low; the deep walking bath is much cooler (one reviewer estimates 32°C) and reviewers use it for alternating with the hot tub.
stated by 6 visitors · Jan 2023 – May 2026Outdoor bath & sauna
The signature feature is a deep walking bath run by the affiliated clinic for rehabilitation: about 110 cm deep with handrails (dimensions ~2.5 m x 5.5 m per one reviewer; 'about 16 tatami, 30 minutes of easy walking' per another); one reviewer notes a posted 120-cm minimum height rule for children, and another says rehabilitation users, including people with hemiplegia, use it comfortably.
stated by 5 visitors · Jan 2023 – Aug 2026Price
Admission is 850 yen (two reviewers, 2024-2025, both noting it rose substantially after the Dec 2023 renewal; a pre-renewal review from Apr 2023 cites 650 yen); one reviewer says the 26th of each month appears to have a 700-yen discount day, and another notes multi-visit ticket books (kaisūken) are sold for regulars.
stated by 4 visitors · Apr 2023 – Mar 2025The water
The water has a distinctive oil-like character praised by fans: at least 4 distinct reviewers describe an abura-shu (oil smell) or unusual odor — one loves 'Gunma's oil smell', one says oil content forms an iridescent film on the surface, one calls the oil-scented water excellent for warming — while one reviewer notes the peculiar smell will divide opinion.
stated by 4 visitors · Jan 2023 – Aug 2026Outdoor bath & sauna
There is no outdoor bath and no outdoor-air cooling — indoor baths only, stated by 4 distinct reviewers (one notes a balcony exists but its doors are kept locked).
stated by 4 visitors · Apr 2024 – Aug 2026Outdoor bath & sauna
The dry sauna is a 4-tier tower type with no TV, with mats changed every 3 hours (one detailed reviewer, Aug 2026); another reviewer measured about 90°C. The cold plunge is mild: reported as ~20°C (one), felt ~18°C (one), 'lukewarm' (one). Three distinct reviewers note there are no totonoi (cool-down) chairs.
