The hot springs of Yuzawa have been a popular tourist attraction for many years.  NASPA New Otani has public baths within the hotel that are free to use for guests of the hotel.  These excellent public baths are highly recommended to all guests. The facilities are open all day except for a two-hour cleaning period daily.  Both the male and female bathing areas have the following facilities:
Large hot spring bath Outdoor hot spring bath Jacuzzis (3pm-10pm) Large sauna (3pm-10pm) Sitting & Standing Showers Resting area Cold water bath Relaxation room Massage chairs

Natural hot spring baths (onsen) are extremely popular in Japan, and if you visit NASPA New Otani you have the chance to try a quality facility here in the hotel.  Both facilities are very large and spacious, and each features both indoor and outdoor baths.

Some simple guidelines

The bath is thought of as a place to relax after you have washed rather than a place to wash.  So please wash yourself before entering the bath.  The individual sitting washing booths and standing showers are used for this and you will find body soap as well as shampoo.

Feel free to wear the Japanese-style gowns called yukata around the hotel.  In fact, some guests see it as part of the experience!  (The only areas of the hotel where we ask you to not wear yukata is the Fontana restaurant).
 

	It is now possible to have private usage of two new baths facilities within the hotel.　 Choose between a traditional Japanese style or Western style.
6:00am until 9:40am - 2500 yen per hour 3:00pm until 10:40pm - 4000 yen an hour Reservations are required - please ask for more details.
