Bathing indications

Day use is 15:00–20:00 year-round; adult admission ¥600 and child admission ¥350. Morning is reserved for cleaning. A ¥500 gallery discount is not treated as a current standard benefit because the hotel homepage says gallery access is for overnight guests. Do not assume a free shuttle for ordinary day visitors.
