What you can do here

From the staff
The private baths are 50 minutes at a time. If you have small children with you, or tattoos, you can use a private bath just as you are. For the open-air baths, please cover tattoos with a sticker before going in.
Why this place supports social causes
Every year we go out to help with the spring field burning that protects the Aso grasslands. With farmers nearby, we also look after the woods around the open-air bath, clearing the undergrowth in spring and autumn.
From the place
Because we are a bath that looks after the Aso grasslands and the woods around our water together with the people who live here.
What they care about
Free-flowing from the source
We do not reheat the water or add any water to it; it simply flows through.
Private baths by reservation
So that you can go straight in without waiting, we take bookings 50 minutes at a time.
Caring for the woods
In spring and autumn we clear the undergrowth in the woods you can see from the open-air bath.
