  • They have both indoor and outdoor baths, plus you can try the stone sauna. I felt super relaxed here! The view isn’t super dramatic, but it’s got a really soothing mountain vibe.

    It's directly connected to the station, so the location is fantastic. Soaking in the hot spring after climbing Mt. Takao is just the best!! They even sell T-shirts at the front desk, so if you get all sweaty hiking, you can buy a change of clothes!! It's great to feel refreshed and hop on the train home!

  • This is the perfect spot to relax in the hot springs after a hike! Loved it!

  • I soaked in the hot springs while enjoying the beautiful views of Mount Takao. Such a relaxing trip!
