Time That Gently Eases Inner Tension

The amber-colored moor hot spring is said to be a "beautifying hot spring" and warms the body to the core in a short time. Two baths are available at "hot" and "mild" temperatures, along with a plain hot-water bath, ultrasonic bath, and reclining bath. The indoor setting allows bathing regardless of the weather and makes the facility an easy stop in the early morning or during a drive.
