Public Bath (Hakuba-Happo Onsen) Natural hot spring

Our hot spring baths use water drawn from the same natural source as the famous Hakuba Happo Onsen — one of Japan’s most renowned hot springs. This mineral-rich, alkaline water rises naturally from deep underground and is rated among the highest in Japan for its alkalinity. It's long been celebrated as a “beauty and health” onsen, known for its beneficial effects on skin and overall well-being.

Bathing in this onsen can help soothe muscle and nerve pain, reduce bruising, improve circulation, relieve fatigue, and keep your skin soft, smooth, and radiant. It’s the perfect way to relax after a day on the slopes or simply enjoy a traditional Japanese onsen experience.

At Hotel Kuraya, we offer two types of public bath facilities:

A standard communal onsen where guests can enjoy the typical Japanese bathing experience.

A private-use bath located near the front desk, which can be locked from the inside — ideal for couples, families, or anyone who prefers a bit more privacy.

Whether you’re looking for a traditional shared onsen experience or a more private and relaxing soak, you’re free to choose what suits you best.

Open hours
06：00 ～ 09：00 - Morning
16：00 ～ 22：00 - Afternoon
