For day-trip bathing, you can use the indoor and outdoor hot springs in addition to the beachside outdoor bath. Since there is no washing place in the beachside open-air bath, wash your body with the main building’s indoor bath, wear clothes, and go to the outdoor bath through the outdoor passage.

The beachside open-air bath is open from 8:00 am, so it is recommended to enjoy the hot spring in the fresh air of the morning. While taking a break at the salon, it is a good idea to enjoy the spectacular view from the open-air bath as many times as possible until 4pm in the evening.
The biggest merit of staying is that the open-air bath on the beach can be used from sunrise to sunset. You don’t have to worry about time, so you can enjoy the sunset view slowly until the sun falls. It is a masterpiece that the sunset dyes the sky in red and eventually turns one side into a golden color. The voice of admiration rises to the beauty that is divine.
The hot water in the open-air bath at the seaside is slightly warm, perfect for relaxing.
