How we know this

Watch out

Hair dryer

Hair dryers became pay-per-use (100 yen/5 min) from August 2025; an earlier review from July 2025 still called dryers free, so this is a recent change reviewers strongly disliked.

Guide

What visitors add

Day-use visits

The facility CLOSED on 2025-11-30: eight distinct reviewers (Oct–Nov 2025) mention the announced closure, one quoting the posted notice of closure effective November 30, 2025. The review corpus contains nothing after Nov 2025, so current operating status is unknown from reviews.

stated by 8 visitors · Oct 2025 – Nov 2025

Towels, soap & lockers

All hair dryers became paid from August 1, 2025 at 100 yen per 5 minutes: seven distinct reviewers (Aug–Oct 2025) complain about the dryer fee, and three of them note that bringing your own dryer is allowed/practiced.

stated by 7 visitors · Aug 2025 – Oct 2025

The water

Opinions on water quality conflict: three reviewers praise it (skin-smoothing, 'warms you very well', 'tsuru-tsuru' slippery feel), while two call it mediocre ('nothing special' / 'ordinary').

stated by 5 visitors · Mar 2025 – Oct 2025

Outdoor bath & sauna

There is a sauna with water bath: one reviewer measured the sauna at 96°C (2-tier, stone heater, TV), another estimated about 90°C, a third found it 'not too hot' and easy to stay in; one reviewer reports daily rouryu/towel-waving events (times only posted on an in-house calendar), and reviewers split on the water bath — one puts it at a claimed 18–21°C setting, another says it is hose-fed without chiller circulation so it warms up when crowded.

stated by 5 visitors · Jul 2025 – Nov 2025

Day-use visits

Four reviewers (Oct–Nov 2025) report that after the closure the facility is expected to be renovated for about a year and reopened under a different operator/owner (one says 'about one year later, renewal reopening'; one says reopening planned for the following autumn); one notes it was uncertain whether a new owner would take over.

stated by 4 visitors · Oct 2025 – Nov 2025

Staffing

The facility has a staffed front desk (not unmanned); service impressions conflict: three reviewers describe reception staff as polite/kind/pleasant, while one says reception service is 'always bad' with staff chatting instead of greeting.
