Highlights
01Public Hot Spring
The public baths are separate for men and women and swap every two weeks, with 4 indoor pools and 4 outdoor pools, plus a steam room, dry sauna, meditation room, relaxation room and reading area. The water includes white sulfur and green sulfur springs; the green sulfur spring is acidic (pH 1–2), so keep it away from your face and eyes.
Opening hours are 10:00–23:00 (last entry 22:00), and the baths close for maintenance on one Monday each month. Bathing is nude, and phones and electronic devices are banned throughout; people who have been drinking, pregnant women, women on their period and people with heart conditions may not enter. Guests can use the baths as often as they like during their stay.
02In-room Hot Spring
The Japanese-style Matsu and Sakura have indoor and outdoor baths of Taiwan cypress (a single pool of white sulfur spring water); slide open the doors and step out along the corridor to an open-air bath and garden for your use alone. The European-style Jade pairs a skylight with an Indian black stone bath, while Crystal has a separate hot spring bathroom.
There are also in-room bathing packages for non-guests, depending on availability that day, so call ahead to ask.
