The spring water was quite nice and obviously from a real well, but it was only one bath. The normal indoor baths were nice, but the "Royal" baths all felt dirty. There was a lot of diversity in the baths, but they all felt dirty, the rotenburo especially. The salt sauna had a very strong unpleasant smell and the dry sauna, while nice and hot, was dirty and had holes in the walls. If you super-sized a typical sento and fill it with dirty truck drivers you'd get this place. The design in the normal bath area was stoic, while the "Royal" area had a bit more thought given to the design--but not much and it was pretty ostentatious anyhow. The rotenburo was all white in a Greco-Roman theme. The palm tree out there was half-dead with fake palms attached to the trunk. It felt like a love hotel. The indoor spring water bath had a rocky theme with a geometric waterfall which I did enjoy however. Located next to a freeway onramp, a few love hotels, chain restaurants, this was the most truck stop-like of all the supersento I've been to. The staff was pleasant and the costumers all seemed to mind their own business and not interact much with each other. The beer I had tasted rancid.
I feel bad saying this, but I really didn't enjoy my time here. The other Yu~Bath supersentos have a much better atmosphere.
The men's and women's sides at this supersento are different. They change each week. I went to the right hand side bath, closest to the door.
Recently Yu~Bath has been promoting this bath, so maybe they have cleaned it up a bit. I do want to give it another try.
