Property overview

Overview

Bousenkaku's outdoor bath is 100% free-flowing, its small bath is also free-flowing, and the large bath uses a discharge-and-recirculation system. The panoramic Hagoromo bath also changes its operation with the season and outside temperature. Day visitors can usually book a one-hour visit, but admission depends on the day's hotel schedule.

Bathing indications

The inn lists general bathing indications including neuralgia, muscle and joint pain, sensitivity to cold and fatigue. This is not a guarantee of treatment.

Ordinary day use costs ¥800 for adults, ¥600 for children aged two through elementary school and is free under age two; each visit is limited to one hour. Call after 10:00 on the day because hotel occupancy, cleaning or maintenance may prevent admission. Meal-and-bath plans are separate and have minimum group sizes. The 50.2°C figure is source temperature only. Tattoo rules are unconfirmed.
