KAN NO JIGOKU RYOKAN

A historic hot spring ryokan nearing its 100th year, fed by free-flowing waters gushing at over two tons per minute. A signature experience is the cold spring sauna, where guests immerse themselves in mineral-rich waters chilled to 13–14°C before warming in a heated room without drying off — a ritual believed to enhance mineral infusion into the skin. In 2023, the wood-fired “Dan no Jigoku Sauna,” exceeding 100°C, was added. Paired with the cold spring sauna, it creates one of Japan’s most intense hot-and-cold contrast bathing experiences.
