Healthy Onsen Sakuragawa — Attraction in Osaka

Lovely local bathhouse run by a very sweet baachan who was very welcoming of foreigners. Ticket machine simple to understand (440 for adult). You have to pay extra for sauna, towels etc (all options on machine). Hair dryer costs 10-20 yen for 3 mins which is a mild grievance.

Has a steam room, electric bath, spa bath and cold and hot. Couldn't find a tap at the wash station that actually gave cold water but oh well.

You can bring your own amenities like towels and bath soap etc, if you don't have any you can also get everything you need from the ticket machine which I did😁

There is an electric bath, a hot bath and a slightly cooler bath with a jacuzzi like stream on one side, it was very good at relaxing my body😁

Thank you very much, I will definitely be coming back...

It was a very relaxing experience. It really soothe our tired bodies. The place also has...
