About Japanese bathing facilities

In other countries, it is not customary to bathe naked with other people in hot springs, so men and women bathe together wearing swimsuits, but in Japanese hot springs, it is common to bathe naked and with men and women bathing separately. There are also some things that are prohibited when enjoying Japanese hot springs. Prohibited items (such as tattoos) vary depending on the facility, so be sure to check the website before visiting the facility.

About Fuji Chobo no Yu Yurari Onsen

The day-trip hot spring facility " Fuji Chobo no Yu Yurari Onsen ," located in Narusawa Village, next to Lake Kawaguchiko Town at the foot of Mount Fuji, can be reached in about 20 minutes by free shuttle bus (advance reservation required) from Kawaguchiko Sta. on the Fujikyu Railway Line.

As mentioned above, this hot spring facility is the same as a typical hot spring in Japan, with separate baths for men and women and a nude bathing style. Also, it is a hot spring facility that you can go to whenever you want without having to make a reservation in advance.

There are 16 types of baths to enjoy, including two types of open-air baths, the "Reiho Open-Air Bath" and the "Panorama Bath," where you can soak while gazing directly at Mt. Fuji, as well as the "Cave Bath," whose walls are covered in lava that mimics the Fuji Wind Cave. The baths are equipped with amenities such as shampoo, conditioner, body soap, makeup remover, and hairdryers, so you can come empty-handed!

In addition to the hot springs, there are also free and paid rest rooms where you can relax after a bath, the Fujizakura restaurant where you can enjoy local ingredients at reasonable prices, and the Okariba private restaurant where meals are delivered by a mini steam locomotive train.

About the source

"Fuji Chobo no Yu Yurari Onsen" is a natural hot spring located in the Aokigahara Jukai forest, formed in the tectonic belt at the foot of Mt. Fuji. This hot spring is made up of green tuff bedrock that contains hydrothermal deposits caused by an undersea volcano that was active about 15 million years ago. It is rich in minerals that have been cultivated over a long period of time in a fault zone 1,500 meters underground, making it a genuine fissure-type natural hot spring.

*Fissure hot springs: These are natural hot springs that gush forth from fissures and cracks in the bedrock underground. They are formed by faults and cracks in the bedrock caused by crustal activity and earthquakes.

In terms of ingredients, it contains a well-balanced abundance of cations such as calcium ions, magnesium ions, sodium ions, and iron ions, and anions such as sulfate ions, chloride ions, and carbonate ions. Because it has slightly alkaline properties, it acts on the slightly acidic skin, and it is expected that the calcium, sodium, magnesium, iron, and other cations will be absorbed more effectively, enhancing the hot spring effects.
