Bathing Experience & Onsen Etiquette

Marine Spa Atami creates a unique hybrid experience where you can enjoy the therapeutic minerals of Atami's famous hot springs while wearing a swimsuit. The facility features a diverse range of bathing environments, from the invigorating 25-meter lap pool to the gentle embrace of the "Well-being Zone" with its temperature-controlled therapeutic baths. Bubble jets target different muscle groups while you soak in the naturally heated waters. The mineral-rich sulfate springs (pH 7.8) that feed the facility come from Atami's 1,200-year-old hot spring source, known for improving circulation, relieving muscle tension, and enhancing skin texture. Water temperatures range from refreshingly cool in the activity pools to a soothing 40-42°C (104-107.6°F) in the therapeutic baths—the perfect temperature to melt away travel fatigue without overheating.
