"This ""super onsen"" hot springs spa is located in an urban area of Uozu City along the Hokuriku Expressway. They are especially proud of their Tateyama Renbo Panorama Daiyokuden, a large public bath featuring stones gathered from across the country that have been carefully arranged to resemble the Tateyama Mountain Range. The ability to enjoy magnificent natural scenery right in front of your eyes despite being in an indoor bath is quite appealing. Another attraction of note is their Teien Dai-Rotenburo, a large open air bath decorated with large stones (sourced primarily from Shikoku) that have been arranged in the style of a Japanese garden. There, you can relax while enjoying the diverse scenery of the changing seasons. The spa's other facilities include a spacious rest area, relaxation rooms, and a game corner."
