Lake Side Iruka - Vacation STAY 36073v

I used the bath for a day trip. At around 40°C, the water was comfortable even for me, though I prefer it lukewarm. It's a compact hotel bath, not a natural hot spring, with a jacuzzi that looks like it fits about a dozen people, a sauna, and a cold bath. The washing area is about 7-8cm, and amenities are provided. The price is reasonable at 600 yen for adults and 300 yen for children, and the 10 AM to 8 PM hours are fairly long for a hotel. It's a good quick soak after walking around Meiji Village or Little World, fishing at Iruka Pond, or touring, cycling, or hiking along the Tokai Nature Trail. A bath after all that seems especially nice in spring or fall. The hotel also has a cafe and glamping. There are no shoe lockers, so you go into the bathing area wearing your shoes. Pay the bath fee at the front desk. In the changing room, belongings go in baskets, and there are free lockers with locks just outside the bath. The nearest Starbucks is probably the Inuyama Umetsubo branch, about a 30-minute drive away.
