Our waters are a milky-white “Silk Bath,” known as one of the gentlest in Shirahone Onsen, with an exceptionally smooth feel on the skin. We provide an easy-to-follow bathing guide even for first-time guests, and suggest ways to enjoy the baths to suit your needs—along with moments of relaxation in our post-bath lounge—so that simply staying here helps you reset.
