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, known as one of Japan’s highly alkaline natural hot springs.

This mineral-rich alkaline water rises from deep underground and is well known for its smooth, gentle feeling on the skin. It has long been loved as a “beauty and health” onsen, and many guests enjoy it for relaxing tired muscles, warming the body, and leaving the skin feeling soft and smooth.

After a day on the slopes, hiking in the mountains, or exploring Hakuba, soaking in our onsen is a perfect way to relax and enjoy a traditional Japanese hot spring experience.

At Hotel KURAYA, we offer two types of bath facilities.

The first is our standard communal onsen, where guests can enjoy a traditional Japanese bathing experience.

The second is a private-use bath located near the front desk. This bath can be locked from the inside, making it a good choice for couples, families, or guests who prefer a little more privacy.

Whether you would like to enjoy a traditional shared onsen or a more private and relaxing soak, you are welcome to choose the style that suits you best.

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