- Water handling
- The facility says it does not add water or circulate the spring. A heat-exchange system brings the self-flowing water to a comfortable temperature while limiting air contact; the operator describes it as 100% spring water. The current text pages do not fully specify disinfection conditions, so none are inferred.
Bathing indications
The facility lists general spring-type bathing indications including neuralgia, muscle and joint pain, sensitivity to cold, fatigue and cuts. These are not treatment guarantees.
The facility says there is no added water or circulation, and that a heat exchanger is used to temper the spring. Disinfection details are not fully published.
Day admission is ¥1,000 for adults, ¥500 for elementary-school children and free for younger children. A towel set costs ¥300.
