Onsen and Wellness

Daitoku offers two types of indoor baths: a hinoki bath and a pearl bath. Both are available 24 hours a day. Because the baths alternate between men and women daily, you can try both during your stay—one at night and the other in the morning.

The soothing scent of hinoki wood and the soft touch of pearl water help ease tension and leave you feeling refreshed. After a day at the beach or exploring the area, a soak in these baths is the perfect way to unwind.

Guests with Tattoos

If you have tattoos, you are welcome to use the public baths. Just be mindful of other bathers, or ask the staff if you’d like guidance on quieter times.
