Fish pedicure is fun experience and you can ask to do just that for 80NT/person for 30min or maybe longer I forget...or it's a free bonus after the private rooms for 15-30min.
Can fit 12-14 around fish pool/tank you put your feet in for fish to nibble your dead skin. Tickly yet some are aggressive and pinch! Funny and understandable how they go for the oldest & leave kids alone until the adults move their feet.
Private bath rooms can fit 2 adults (380NT) and can add on a kid (additional 80NT) per hour or do 1 adult and 2 kids for 420NT/hr. They definitely want at least 1 adult per room.
First come first served, so rooms open up on rolling basis. Thus can be tricky for groups in private rooms.
Note the water is healing, but facilities are pretty old and not spa-like. Fish pedicure area is more new.
Public spas are separated by gender since everyone gets naked and showers before entering any of pools. At least you don't have to have a shower cap like some places since I didn't bring but tied my hair up well.
Women's side had cubbyholes for stuff, sit down shower area, 2 pools (1 super hot!) and 1 small cold plunge with small areas to sit and rest. Super locals hangout as they even ate a little inside and offered it to strangers in our kind Taiwanese way.
Recommend if you don't need fancy facilities and want to try fish pedicure as a family :)
Super locals experience, very crowded the Sunday I went, yet no one the Monday or Friday the other...

Read moreAwesome! Lots of rich old women are regular guests there and were happy to share their experiences and lifestyle details with me. I wanted to paint the scene of the hotspring pools so beryl and green agate and all gestures of women. The highest temperature is 47℃, also the cold spring is -10℃. Males and females are separated by a wooden wall, and I could hear the conversation next door. It was built for the Japanese emperor of who-knows-when quite small under this hotel whose name I didn't bother to remember. The admission at the door was $250 NTD for unlimited time. One of them female humans gave me a honey soap made in Australia and my mother gave me the leftover hair care cream from Morocco. I wish to go there regularly for I really like the atmosphere and chance to observe nudity and being nude and comfortable in...
