The bath is quite spacious and the open-air bath feels really nice. The bathing fee is reasonable at 500 yen for adults on weekdays. There is an additional fee of 100 yen each for a shoe box and locker, but they are returned to you so it's essentially 500 yen. The open-air bath is 43 degrees Celsius and the indoor bath is 46 degrees Celsius, which is just the right temperature. The only downside is the shower, as the water pressure is a bit low and it tends to stop quickly, making it a bit difficult to wash. One point off for that. There are about 5 steps from the changing room to the bath so be cautious if you have difficulty walking. Although it was written that those with tattoos are not allowed, there were actually some people with visible tattoos, so they seem to be fairly lenient about it.

This place is one of the lesser-known day-trip hot springs, but there is nothing lacking, especially the quality of the spring. The indoor baths have a high temperature of 44-45 degrees Celsius, with a size that accommodates 4-5 people. Next to the indoor baths is a mineral water bath with a temperature of 15-16 degrees Celsius. The outdoor bath is slightly warmer at 42-43 degrees Celsius, perfect for those who enjoy a long soak. It may be large enough to fit about 20 tatami mats and is also continuously flowing. The hot spring is 100% sourced from the spring, with an abundant supply of water. This is the highlight of the place. It is truly amazing and although I hesitate to share this information, I feel the need to do so. The entry fee is only 500 yen for a full day, but it increases to 700 yen on weekends. You can also enjoy meals and take breaks inside.

Hot! There is a hot bath with an average temperature of 43 degrees Celsius. The outdoor bath is also around 43 degrees. It is spacious and comfortable. The cold water bath is chilling at 18 degrees Celsius, possibly spring water. Unfortunately, it was taken over by a group of children, but the shower water was also cold, possibly from the same source. Could this be a substitute for a sauna? Even just a quick dip felt rejuvenating.

お湯最高。。。霊鉱泉水の水風呂がまた素晴らしく、もう最高としか言いようがないです。 露天風呂も源泉使用でこれまた最高、広くても大変清潔に保たれてます。 サウナなどないところがまたよいですね。 ほんとに温泉が好きな人におすすめできます。 全体の雰囲気もとてもいいですよ。 休憩スペースも開放的で冷たい飲み水だけでなく健康茶やブランケットなど用意されていて暖かい心遣いを感じます。 前日行った那須の日帰り温泉はコロナ対策だとかでブランケットも座布団も撤去され、休憩室で寝ないでくださいとの貼り紙まであって寒々しく早々に退散しましたが、こちらはそんな意味不なこと言わず、どっしりと構えてらっしゃいます。 常連さんにも大変親切にしていただき、栃木の方の温かさを感じました。 水を汲むのを手伝ってくださってありがとうございます。） 栃木って見どころが多いだけでなく温泉もたくさんあって地元の方の人柄もよくて。ほんとにいいところですよね。
