Osaka Bay Tower’s “Solaniwa Onsen”
Tuesday, February 26, 2019 will finally see the grand opening of “Solaniwa Onsen Osaka Bay Tower,” Kansai’s largest hot spring theme park!
Connected directly to Bentencho Station on the JR Osaka Loop Line and the Osaka Metro Chuo Line and just 15 minutes from Osaka (Umeda) Station, this massive facility is has more than 16,500 square meters in total floor space.
Experience Japan’s Azuchi-Momoyama period!
Modeled on 16th-century Japan. As you enter the gateway you will be transported to a rich and elegant world, greeted by merchants, young women and entertainers from Japan’s Azuchi-Momoyama period (1573–1603).
The yukatas, which you can borrow for free, are historically accurate to the period, and you can also dress up as a samurai, a princess, a ninja, or the like and take a photo as a keepsake. With our performers who are skilled in reproducing the Azuchi-Momoyama way of viewing the world, you’ll feel like you have actually taken a journey back in time to the sixteenth century!
Sky Garden
The first thing you’ll notice as you enter the facility are the hot springs. The “Sky Garden,” located on the rooftop, is around 3,300 square meters, and its open-air baths and garden-viewing baths will allow you to enjoy the flora and foliage of the season. Please be sure to take in our natural hot springs, or lie back and relax with the foot baths.
We also put on a variety of shows on the stage located in the garden, and the waterfalls and Fushimi Inari-style “thousand arches” will quickly make you forget that you are actually in downtown Osaka.
Solaniwa Onsen baths
The “Clear Skin Bath” is a natural hot spring whose slightly alkalized waters flow up from a source 1,000 meters below the earth.
Be it the open-air bath with its fresh water bursting forth from the subterranean source, or the garden-viewing bath that looks down on our massive garden, or the carbonated spring or special seasonal bath, we’ve got no end of baths—not to mention saunas and scrub-down areas—for you to choose from.
You can even reserve a bath for between two and five people to enjoy a more private experience.
A place where you can wash away the day’s frustrations and face tomorrow afresh: that is the ideal behind Solaniwa Onsen baths!
Combining beautician and healer, that is our promise.
With easily one of the largest Powder Rooms in Japan at around 100 square meters, a Relaxation Area that boasts numerous recliner seats with a TV and is among the largest in the Kansai region, a Beauty Treatment Area for cosmetic/health purposes, and much more, our facility is perfect for both healing and beauty.
The Gourmet Corner, where you can eat your fill
At the Gourmet Corner you can get a real taste of Japanese food culture, as well as experience “Revival Sake,” which is a reproduction of a famous rice wine from the past. There are also a variety of entertainments including sake-tasting shows and soba noodle making shows. With cakes and pastries guaranteed to please our women clientele, lots of gifts that you can only get at Solaniwa Onsen, and no end of delicious food and sake!
