Onsen & Spa
Hotel Kasugai’s onsen features single-spring, high-pH alkaline water—often called “Beautiful Skin Water.”
Hot Spring Experience
PH 9.6, higher than many hot springs, it softens and moisturizes skin, leaving it smoother with continued soaking.
Water flows into granite baths, where soft bubbles and running water soothe your senses.
Sauna opens from 14:00 to 21:00, alongside the men’s and women’s baths, which are available from 13:00 to midnight, and then again from 5:00 to 9:30 each morning.
You’ll feel a profound relaxation floating in nature’s warmth. This “environmental shift”—moving into clean air, sound of running water, and heat—helps trigger stress relief, immune response, and even anti‑aging effects. Bathing here can boost alpha‑waves in the brain, enhancing calm and mental clarity.

History & Location
The local hot spring grew from a surprising discovery in 1961—steam from a vineyard found its way underground to create a natural spring. In just a few years, Kasugai became a flourishing hot‑spring region near Tokyo, easy to reach by train and road.
Once a historic post town along the old Kōshū Highway, it has long offered cultural sites and nature-rich landscapes. Today, it attracts couples, families, and groups looking for a soothing getaway near the capital.
