On the top floor of the “Hooh Wing,” there are three open-air observation baths, “Mokusei,” “Gyokuryu,” and “Raicho,” which overlook the Hakusan mountain range and the hotel’s garden.
*Guests staying in the main building can also use these baths.

“Mokusai”

The all-cypress outdoor bath has a bright, carefree feeling. There is the main bath, mist sauna, and a place built for reclining in the outdoor bath. From the outdoor bath one can expect to see the sacred mountain Hakusan, the grounds of Matsusaki, and in winter perhaps the rustic sights of the white heron nesting in the garden. Typically the afternoons and evenings are dedicated to ladies’ enjoyment, while the mornings are reserved for the gentlemen.
≪Opening Hours≫
3:00p.m. ~ 12:00midnight (Hours of use for women)
6:00a.m. ~ 10:00a.m. (Hours of use for men)

This large bath faces the historic Azuchi-Momoyama Garden.
There is a hot bath (40 degrees) that is heated by circulation, and a lukewarm bath (36.5 degrees) that is directly from the source,
so you can alternate between them to stay in the bath for a long time.

”Zuiun no Yu”(Men’s)

Main Wing Large Bath
≪Opening Hours≫
3:00p.m. ~ 12:00midnight, 6:00a.m.~9:00a.m.

”Yachiyo no Yu”(women’s)

Main Wing Large Bath
≪Opening Hours≫
3:00p.m. ~ 12:00midnight, 6:00a.m.~9:00a.m.

You can also enjoy alternating baths with lukewarm hot spring water.

Our hotel uses 100% natural hot spring water, but as the spring temperature is a little low at 36.5 degrees, we circulate and heat it.
In the main building’s large public bath, we have installed a hot spring bathtub where the water is at the same temperature as the spring, which has been very well received. After warming up in the large bathtub at 40 degrees, you can relax in the hot spring bathtub at 36.5 degrees, or you can repeat this several times and alternate between two bathtubs with different temperatures in our recommended “alternating bath” which improves blood circulation, relieves fatigue, and is also effective for stiff shoulders and lower back pain. Please feel free to give it a try.
