*Closed* Amayu House

*Closed* Amayu House

A pure bathing paradise. Amayu house has it all from a fantastic hot spring to ample beer vending machines. I come here to really, 100% remove myself from whatever worries or stresses I have stuck in my head. Outside, the brown, opaque hot spring fills a large rocky bath. Inside, the normal baths of difference sizes and depths provide many great places in the high roofed, Romanesque room. Upstairs, there are chairs with TVs for sleeping, a game room, restaurants, and, for an additional fee, capsule rooms. A little more on the water. The spring here is hot at 53.8c. Thankfully it's cooled down before you get in. The water is a thick brown color. You'll not be able to see the bottom of the pools so make sure you be careful entering and exiting the baths. Amayu likes to emphasize that the water is very similar to that of Arima Onsen, and they have a valid point. The baths really do have a rejuvenating feel to them and all the minerals in the water must be good for your skin. At least it is for mine. When you enter you pay for a single day pass, an overnight pass, or an overnight pass with a capsule room. Once inside you'll be directed to the baths. Upon entry the staff will offer you a choice of clothing. This is what you'll lounge around in until you leave. There are two options: a yukata or a shirt and shorts set called aloha. After receiving your clothes you can go into the locker room, change, take a bath and put on your yukata or aloha and lounge around the building. Unlike most capsule hotels, Amayu is much more family friendly. All the common areas besides the baths and sleeping rooms are mixed gender. You'll often see many families enjoying a day at the baths. Highly recommended if you want to splurge on day of relaxing or just looking for a cheap place to crash for the night. Discount are available from their website, or by navigating to Amayu's keitai webpage and showing your phone to the staff at the front. There are also many special event days that happen every month or week for example every Monday is woman's day and Friday is men's day. On those days entrance is only ¥1,050. There are free busses departing from Hankyu Tsukaguchi (阪急 塚口) and Hanshin Amagasaki or Kuise stations (阪神 尼崎・杭瀬). See their website for a time table.
