The main baths have been created in a single storey wooden storehouse. It was recontructed from a building that was used as a rice store in days gone by. The onsen water is supposed to be very effective at relieving fatigue as it is a sodium chloride hot spring (hypotonic, alkalescent, and high temperature water). In 1964 Muikamachi was designated as a Hot Spring Health Resort. It has colorless and odorless spring water that is kind to the skin. Take your time to soak in the natural hot spring water and let the stresses of the day melt away.

The Private open-air bath newly established in March 2023. This bath utilizes the natural spring water from Muikamachi Onsen, flowing directly. Guests are free to use it at their convenience. For availability, please refer to the indicator light located in the bathhouse.

We inherit the tradition of Japan, which has been healing people through hot spring baths since ancient times. We provide holistic care for both the mind and body using hot springs and aromatherapy.

Aromatherapy replenishes energy, discards excess, enhances the flow, and adjusts the overall balance of the body. We use an Ayurvedic blend to achieve this.
