Katsuyama Natural Hot Spring "Mizubasho" is known as a natural hot spring with a high skin-beautifying effect. The facility is dotted with dinosaur motifs, making it a dream space for dinosaur fans.

Its convenient location, just a 5-minute drive from the Dinosaur Museum and 15 minutes from Ski Jam Katsuyama, is also appealing. It is also easily accessible from other tourist spots in Katsuyama City, and has accommodation on-site, making it an ideal base for sightseeing or as a day trip to the hot springs.

The interior was completely renovated in 2020.

Katsuyama Natural Hot Spring "Mizubasho" was renovated and reopened on December 31st, 2020.

The interior of the lobby is designed to resemble the Tetori Formation in Katsuyama City.

The pillars have cave-like holes in them, a design that children can enjoy. Dinosaurs are painted all over the changing rooms and hot springs, and there are even dinosaur footprints on the floor. It's recommended to have fun exploring.

The natural hot spring, whose source was renewed in December 2023, is a "sodium chloride hot spring" that is characterized by its smooth texture on the skin. It has the effect of removing excess dead skin cells, making it ideal for those who want beautiful skin.

It is also said to be effective in relieving fatigue, neuralgia, joint pain, and poor circulation. This hot spring is especially recommended for women, as you can relax and warm up in the spacious baths.
