Shirogane-yu

Located in the middle of the Ginzan Hot Spring area, Shirogane-yu is a communal bathhouse in which visitors can still sense some of the atmosphere of this establishment’s days as a therapeutic spa. The modern exterior was designed by the architect Kengo Kuma. The second floor is characterized by large windows, which create a subdued light, while the first floor has an eerie, cave-like quality. The bathtubs are small with a capacity of four persons. Due to its sulfur content, the water is cloudy, and it is extremely hot as it flows out of the spring, so people who do not like very hot baths need some time to adjust to the temperature.
