The attraction is the food
The men's bath at Hanagasa Public Baths is called "Aino-yu." You can enjoy the skin-beautifying hot spring water in a spacious bath.
Private garden bath. The private garden bath "Yuan" is a 100% natural hot spring bath with a "koma" (top) filled with hot water. A must-see for shogi (Japanese chess) fans.
The places where you can enjoy the beauty baths that Tendo Onsen is so proud of are the women's "Beni no Yu" and the men's "Aino Yu," the "Hanagasa Large Baths" which are approximately 1,000 m2 in size, and the universally designed garden private bath "Yuan," where you can enjoy 100% natural hot spring water.
The spring water is a weakly alkaline sulfate hot spring and contains a lot of sodium, calcium, magnesium, and metasilicic acid. It is effective in relieving fatigue, promoting health, treating cuts, peripheral circulatory disorders, and poor circulation, and is also said to have skin-beautifying effects when drunk.
At Takinoyu, the use of hypochlorite has been reduced and a sanitation system that uses silver ions has been introduced in consideration of the impact on the human body, spring quality, and the global environment. There is less of an unpleasant chlorine smell and less irritation to the skin, and you can enjoy the natural softness of the hot spring water.
Chogetsu Kappo HAYAMA is located on the same floor as the premium suites, premium barrier-free rooms, and premium Japanese-style rooms with open-air panoramic baths.
Takinoyu is renowned for its consideration for people and the environment, and strives to provide safe, reliable, and delicious food that is good for the body, using many pesticide-free organic vegetables grown on the hotel's own farm and making an effort not to use chemical seasonings.

Breakfast is served at a restaurant with an open kitchen facing a Japanese garden, where you can enjoy a buffet with about 40 types of food.

Hayama in the distance, you can enjoy "freshly picked seasonal produce" that is only available here, with a particular focus on local delicacies.
