This is the outdoor bath Mokumokuyu which is also brilliantly designed.

The bath is designed to invoke an image of a bubble melting into the forest, and was done by the world renowned Klein Dytham architecture firm.

In the day beams of light fall through the trees of the woods, and at night the tub is lit up from inside creating a fantastic atmosphere.

Between the men and women’s baths there is a mixed outdoor bath, where everyone can enjoy a bath together after donning the bathwear.

The soft aroma of the woods is a very large part of the relaxing experience! After a hot bath have some chilled wine to really loosen up those tired muscles.
