Onsen and Wellness
Bathe under the sky in the open-air rooftop bath, Tenku no Tanayu. This terraced bath provides a sweeping view of the city below and the surrounding mountains.

The indoor bath offers the same smooth, mineral-rich waters in a glass-enclosed space that lets you enjoy the view, even in wind or rain.
You can also book a private family bath at Minoh Onsen Spa Garden. This indoor facility allows couples or families to enjoy hot spring bathing in complete privacy. The hot spring water, known for its skin-beautifying properties, is gentle and soothing.
