Day spa · Man'yō Park
A quiet, beautifully designed bathhouse in the woods of Man'yō Park. Book a half day with lunch, the baths, a sauna and a library.

Soyu Terrace is Yugawara's grown-up day spa, set among the trees at the top of Man'yō Park with the river running below. It's built for staying a while: spring-fed baths inside and out, a sauna, a dining room, a lounge and a library, with robes, towels and free drinks included.
The lunch plan gives you up to five hours and a seasonal set meal. The no-meal plan is three hours and starts from 14:00. It's mostly by reservation, with walk-ins only when there's space.
It's for junior high school age and up, and guests with tattoos can't use the baths. Groups are four people at most. From the station, take the Oku-Yugawara bus to Ochiai-bashi (9 minutes) and walk up through the park.
