Onsen and Wellness
Enjoy natural alkaline simple hot springs at the foot of Mount Tsukuba, legendary for their beautifying effect on the skin. The hotel offers:
- Infinity open-air bath (seventh floor): Overlooking the Kanto Plain—exclusive to hotel guests. Under open sky, you’ll soak in calming views, breathe in forest air, and listen to birdsong as you relax.
- Garden-style open-air baths: Located on the 1st and 2nd floors, each offering a distinct atmosphere—whether under a garden canopy or amidst soft rain, you’ll feel nature’s presence as you unwind.
Bath usage depends on time of day and alternates between men’s and women’s periods daily. Whether inside or outside, every bath invites you to slow down and rejuvenate with mountain-top ambiance.
The spring water supports relief from joint and muscle pain, chronic fatigue, digestive discomfort, and promotes healing, radiant skin, and overall wellness.
Guests with Tattoos
You’re welcome, regardless of tattoos. All hotel bathing areas accept guests with visible tattoos, and private bathing is available on a reservation basis to ensure privacy.
