Shikanoyu Press release: May 17, 2025 To the media “Get in tune” with the sauna and “get refreshed” with the hot springs. A special website for “alternate bathing” recommended by Jozankei’s famous hot spring, Shikanoyu, has been launched! Hot and cold, hot and cold alternating baths. With hot springs of six different temperatures, cold baths and a sauna, “Kita no Daihonzan Shikanoyu” offers a special experience that can only be experienced here. At Jozankei Shikanoyu, a modern hot spring inn that conveys the joy of hot springs and travel, we have launched a special website on Saturday, May 17, 2025, that describes how to take the “alternate bath” bath, which allows you to enjoy a special alternating bath that is unique to our inn.

Since the opening of Sauna Shika no Mushi in 2022, many guests have patronized our large baths, but at the same time, we have once again realized the depth of hot springs and have been exploring how we can convey that depth and fun in a way unique to Shika no Yu. That’s where I discovered the world of “alternate bathing.” We adapted this bathing method of alternating between hot and cold baths to the environment of our hotel and created the “Shika no Yu Alternating Bath” where you can enjoy three types of alternating baths (hot/cold, warm/cold, and cold/cold). The comfort of “totono” in a sauna is also expressed as “shiagaru” in an alternating bath. The world of alternating baths is created by three hot springs with different water temperatures, two cold baths, and an autoloyly sauna. We will contribute to the well-being of society by promoting health through hot springs and the hot spring culture that lives there, and by providing opportunities to refresh the mind and body. 【Jozankei Shikanoyu Alternating Bath Special Site】

Kanoyu style A typical alternating bath ■3 minutes in hot water ⇔ 1 minute in healing water [alternating hot and cold bath] The classic Shika-no-yu style alternating hot and cold bath. The hot water stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, and you move your body into the cold bath with it thoroughly warmed up. By repeating this, you can tone your autonomic nervous system and get a feeling of “rising up.” ■ Deer steaming for 10 minutes ⇒ Numbing water for 1 minute ⇒ Open air bath for 10 minutes [Hot and cold alternating bath] The royal road to sauna alternating bathing. Warm up to the core of your body in the sauna, wash off the sweat and then head into the single cold bath
head-bouncing. Enter the world of comfortable relaxation with an open-air bath where the surface of your body is firm and the depths are warm. ■Kizu-no-yu 5 minutes ⇔ Buddha-no-yu 5 minutes [alternating hot and cold baths] A medium-temperature hot spring surrounded by open air and an indoor low-temperature hot spring. This is the best way to enjoy a long bath. You can feel the effects of Shika-no-yu to the fullest, and it can be said to be the ultimate hot and cold
alternating bath. ■Numbing water 30 seconds ⇒ Healing water 1 minute [Cold alternating bath] After the sauna, enter the numbing water. After cooling down for about 30 seconds, move your body into the healing water. The water bath feels warm, and you are enveloped in a unique floating sensation and a sense of euphoria. Only those who have mastered water baths can try this. The pride of Shikanoyu Opened in 1897. Shikanoyu was the third inn to open in Jozankei and is the oldest facility still in operation today. All of the baths in the large public bath have different water temperatures, and the amount and temperature of the water is adjusted by hand, taking into account the difference in sensation due to the season and outside temperature. The temperature of the Shika-no-yu and Sawamizu baths changes depending on the season and time. The temperature of the sauna fluctuates depending on the opening and closing of the door and the room temperature inside the bath. Our bath attendants are the ones who take in the ever-changing conditions and find the most comfortable “balance” for our guests. The “Shika no Yu” hot spring, which is the origin of the inn, has been flowing since ancient times. We are grateful for the blessings of the earth, and we continue to work hard today to create hot springs, encouraged by the words of our customers that “the bath was great.” 【Jozankei Shikanoyu Alternating Bath Special Site】 https://shikanoyu.co.jp/shikanoyu/kotaiyoku/ Image
