The view from the hot spring pool changes beautifully with the seasons and the passage of time.

Hot Spring Pool ■

The central courtyard features a natural-source flowing hot spring pool, available year-round. Designed as a semi-open-air, all-weather space, guests can enjoy the pool while feeling the nature of Nasu, even on rainy or snowy days.

In winter, a silver landscape unfolds beyond the rising steam, creating a dreamlike atmosphere akin to a snow-viewing open-air bath. The changing natural scenery with each season is one of the unique charms of 'Villa Kagura -KAGURA-'.

The pool's depth allows for light exercise or playing with inflatable rings, making it an oasis for the whole family. Since the living room offers a full view of the pool, parents can relax knowing their children are safe. Enjoy a new hot spring experience where 'fun' and 'healing' come together.

※ The hot spring pool is 120cm deep. Young children must use the pool with a guardian.

From the sauna, guests can view the courtyard through the cold bath. The cold bath can also be used as a jacuzzi.

Sauna & Stone Bath ■

A private sauna for self-roaring (self-heat-up) is available in a corner of the outdoor living area. A cold bath is placed just outside the sauna, with a comfortable flow that allows guests to step directly into the courtyard to enjoy fresh-air bathing while feeling the flicker of the bonfire and the nature of Nasu.

The cold bath can also be used as a jacuzzi by filling it with warm water. Enjoy it in a style that suits your mood and how you wish to spend your time. The sauna can also be used as a stone bath by adjusting the temperature. Spacious enough for three people to relax, it offers a luxurious healing space where a single guest can even lie down and unwind.

This is not just about sweating—it's about slowly restoring both mind and body. This is the experience 'Villa Kagura -KAGURA-' aims to deliver.
