The baths at HOSHINOYA Guguan are supplied with soft low-alkaline, hydrogen carbonate hot spring waters that provide a wealth of skincare benefits. Apart from their room baths, guests may also use the bath halls, each of which offer an indoor and outdoor bath. The indoor baths are deep enough for full body soaking, and are bordered with aromatic cypress. The outdoor baths feature zigzag layouts that emulate natural formations, enhanced by the seasonal colors of the surrounding scenery. As the bath halls are separated by gender, guests are asked to enjoy the baths without swimwear.

The spa regimens here are designed to relax both mind and body and guide them toward a state of optimal health. Once warmed up from a bath, guests are treated in a traditional Japanese room, surrounded by translucent shoji paper doors that create a calming, diffused light. Meanwhile, yoga is practiced at the water gardens. The yoga programs are based in Qigong–renowned for its health benefits–and are designed to improve one’s physical and spiritual balance.
