About this spot

This Ichinoseki City hot-spring facility, offering day-use bathing and meals, sits right beside the Jabu-Jabu Water Playground. Surrounded by the deep greenery at the foot of Mt. Kurikoma, it lets you eat at a leisurely pace while looking out at the scenery through the windows. Eating well and resting before the afternoon water play keeps the children full of energy. The greatest luxury here is being able to step straight into the baths after playing in the water. Warming up bodies chilled by stream water before heading home makes for such a satisfying day that children often fall asleep on the drive back. It also helps that the walk is short enough to leave your luggage in the car.

Tips

Bathing costs a fee and is separate from the free use of the Jabu-Jabu Water Playground. Meal service hours, closing days and bathing reception times can change, so check the Ichinoseki City information or the facility details in advance. If you plan to bathe after water play, bringing two sets of towels and spare clothes is reassuring. Mobile phone reception is weak in places because of the mountain setting. Carrying a little extra cash will keep you out of trouble.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 15 minutes. Arriving before 12:00, when it gets busy, means eating without a wait
