Time That Gently Eases Inner Tension

The amber-colored moor hot spring is said to be "water for beautiful skin" and will warm you right to the core in a short time. There are two bathtubs, "hot" and "lukewarm," as well as lukewarm water, an ultrasonic bath, and a reclining bath, and since it's indoors you can enjoy it regardless of the weather. Feel free to drop by early in the morning or while driving.
