How to "Hottarakashi"

No Dress, No Stress.
Only Fresh!

Welcome to the sky bath. Forget the rules of the city.
Here, we follow the laws of nature—and the Lord’s wisdom.

The 3 Steps to Heaven

Step 1

The Ritual of Purification (Kake-yu)

"Wash your sins (and sweat) before you dive!"
Don't jump in like a ninja. Respect the water, respect the people.

Step 2

The Art of Small Towel (No Dipping)

"Towel is for your head, NOT for the tub."In Japan, the bath is a sacred mirror.
Don't let your towel swim in it.

Step 3

The Full Naked Philosophy (Tattoo & Body)

"Skin to Skin, Soul to Soul."Tattoos? Scars? Muscles? Fat?
We don't care. In the bath, everyone is just a "Naked Human."

Do & Don't

  • Don't swim. Swimming is the fish's job. You just need to stay in the hot water.

  • Don't bring smartphones into the hot spring area.
    Leave your smartphone in a locker.

  • Stare at the sky until you forget your name.

  • Drink milk or eat TKG after the bath. It's the law.
