An indoor bath modelled on the proportions of a tea house. Wabi-spirit meets hot spring.

SOURCE

Gora's bicarbonate spring,
in three vessels.

Gora's sodium bicarbonate spring is known for smoothing skin and improving circulation.
Rikyuan draws it into three entirely different bath experiences.

Bicarbonate springs are sometimes called 'skin-beautifying waters' — leaving skin soft and smooth after bathing. Clear, odorless, and served directly from the source.

Rikyu (tea-house indoor bath), Wabi (semi-outdoor), Jaku (open-air outdoor) — the same water in three very different vessels.

After the irori dinner, move between the three baths as the mood takes you. That's the Rikyuan evening.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Can we use all three private baths?

Yes, all three. Jaku-no-yu is popular for stargazing at night — book early at check-in.

Are guests with tattoos accepted?

All baths are fully private. Guests with tattoos are welcome.

Is it natural flow?

Yes. Gora's sodium bicarbonate spring flows directly into the baths — undiluted, uncirculated.

Do you accept day-use bathers?

We don't offer day-use bathing. The private baths are for overnight guests only.
