Onsen Etiquette
Japanese Bath
Good to know before you bathe
- When using the Japanese bath, we recommend that you use the swimwear provided to you at check-in. If you don't feel comfortable in them, you can bring your own swimwear.
- Bath and washing towels are available at the reception by the bath.
- Washing should be done without swimwear to ensure you are properly clean before sharing the bath with other guests.
- Remember to put your mobile phone on silent mode.
- The Mountain Cave Bath, Sleep Sauna, and Silent Lounge are quiet zones; you may talk in other areas.
- Intimate and sexual activities are not allowed.
- It's not permitted to bring glass and glass bottles to the bath as they may break.
- Respect the activity schedules and do not enter ongoing activities.
- Feel free to use the spin dryer in the washing areas to dry your swimwear.
- If you are a day guest, always check out at the hotel reception when your visit is over.
Choose your bath time & quiet zones
If you choose to stay overnight with us, we kindly ask you to choose a bathing time in the afternoon/evening on the day of your arrival. If you wish to check in at 3:00 PM and check out at 11:00 AM, you can choose a bathing time from 3:00 PM to 5:30 PM or 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM.
If you prefer to check in at 4:00 PM and stay until 12:00 PM, your bathing time is from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM.
Free Bathing Time
During late evening from 8:00 PM to 10:30 PM, and on the day of departure from 8:00 AM until your check-out, no booking of bathing time is required. For day packages and if you have booked accommodation in one of our Ryokan, you have access to the baths throughout your stay.
Silent Areas
Welcome to enjoy a little extra of the silent zones in the Japanese bath. Here is a time to breathe deeply and just be with yourself for a moment.
- The Cave Bath
- Sleeping Sauna
- Carbonated Bath
- Silent Lounge with rocking chairs - a room furnished with sound-insulating materials to truly create a quiet environment.
The outdoor hot springs have silent half-hour periods where all you hear is the water, the sounds of nature, and your breath.
