Accepted Answer

During the Fuji Rock Festival, around the end of July, we are open 24 hours, so you can come whenever suits you. Please note that it is very busy during the festival.

Question 6

Can I come with children?

Accepted Answer

Yes, children are welcome. The source water is strong, but we use source number 3 (at Naeba, close in composition to human body fluids), which does not tire you even after a long soak, so children can bathe safely.

Question 7

Can I use it both for the day and overnight?

Accepted Answer

It is mainly a day-use bathing facility but also takes overnight guests. There are several room types — Japanese, Western, private and large shared rooms — suiting everyone from solo travellers to groups and club camps. It is used as a base for skiing and snowboarding, climbing and trekking, and events such as Fuji Rock.

There is an indoor bath and an open-air bath, both with the brown cloudy water used at 100 per cent from the source. In winter you can bathe in the open air amid the snow.

Question 9

What are the qualities and colour of the water?

Accepted Answer

The source water is colourless and clear, but it is rich in minerals (iron and salt) and turns brown on contact with the air, becoming a cloudy bath. The water is strong enough to stain towels, and is known to help with atopic dermatitis, dry skin and muscle pain. It is used at 100 per cent, flowing continuously from the source.

Is there a foot bath?

Accepted Answer

There is a foot bath outside the building, plus a separate foot bath for pets (both unavailable in winter). Please feel free to use them.
