Spa
Enjoy a different bathing experience than at Satoyama Jujo. With 2,000-meter mountains right front of you, you have the luxury of taking in the spectacular view all by yourself. The open-air bath is only for guests of Izumi, so soak to your heart’s content.
An open-air bath with an amazing view of Mt. Makihata, one of Japan's 100 most famous mountains.
The slightly salty hot spring water has a different mineral makeup than the water at Satoyama Jujo, and towering in front of you is Mt. Makihata, one of Japan’s famous 100 mountains. To the left stand Mt. Hakkai and Mt. Nakanodake, and Mt. Asahidake is on the right. If you turn 90-degrees from there, you can also see Mt. Tanigawa and Mt. Naeba. Your entire field of vision is filled with majestic mountain views. At night, when the weather is clear, you can enjoy gazing at the star-filled sky. The mountains are also visible from the indoor bath. Relax in these two different hot springs and let the day’s fatigue melt away.

Izumi is also home to a private sauna with a breathtaking panoramic view.
The walls of this Finnish-style sauna are covered with Towada stone tiles, which are not only highly effective at storing heat, they also emit and ample amount of far-infrared radiation. Naturally, you can regulate the temperature by splashing water on the hot stones (self-löyly style), and you can choose your preferred scent by adding one of the aroma oils provided. The temperature at ceiling level is set at 100° C, which means that when you are seared, the temperature near your head ranges between 87 and 90° C and the temperature of the seat ranges between 75 and 78° C. The cold water bath is naturally fed with well water that hovers between 14 and 15 ºC.
You can use both the sauna and the open-air bath in the nude, but during the period between when the snow thaws and when the trees get their new leaves (typically late March to late April), the site can be seen more easily from the surrounding area. If you are worried about being seen, please bring your own bathing suit. The relaxation space is in full view of the nearby rice paddies, so please wear the poncho that is provided.
* If you do not plan to use the outdoor sauna, we will deduct 5,000 yen per day per building from your total accommodation fee. (This offer is only available through our website.) Please remove this option when you make your reservation.
* Swimsuits are not provided, so please bring your own. Ponchos are provided.
Panoramic sauna
The sauna at Izumi is slightly smaller than the one at Sen. That being said, it feels more open than the sauna at Sen thanks to the spectacular view that unfolds before you. The cold water bath features a deep tub made from Shigaraki stoneware pottery. The bath is entirely private and fed with a steady stream of well water, so you need not worry about splashing the water out of the tub.

Guests at The House are also welcome to use the Amanogawa open-air bath at Satoyama Jujo. Although we do not offer a pick-up service for bathing, we do so if you choose to have dinner at Satoyama Jujo. If you plan to dine at Satoyama Jujo, we recommend taking a bath at Amanogawa before dinner so you can enjoy both types of hot spring. Satoyama Jujo is a 10-minute drive from The House Izumi.
