Sorry I could only give it four stars! That’s because the day before I visited this spa, I had had a good time at 湯吉郞♨️, which was WAY better than this Raku Spa. No comparison no hard feelings. The Raku Spa was smaller, more overpriced and yet more overcrowded, but the facilities were in no way better than 湯吉郎。

The relax area of this onsen is huge!!! It was a little complicated to find the entrance as you enter on the ground floor but pay on the first then the relax areas are on floor 3 and 4!!! There is free coffee and water, the pajamas and towels are included in the price. It was not cheap (I paid ¥2800) but it was impressive. It was very crowded but it’s Saturday evening so maybe that’s why. The actu...

Manga fans will love this place because there are loads of titles...

The truth is: I would go to Raku Spa Garden every day if I could. I was actually thinking they should have some kind of annual pass 😁. I mean, I live far from it (about 2h drive) but I try going as frequently as possible. The place is amazing and so much more than an onsen location. There are different areas we can choose to just hang and relax. Different environments for whatever mood you're in...

A total beauty !!! This was my first experience at an Onsen and would definitely recommend this place ten out of ten. I went in the afternoon and I wish I would have gone sooner because there was so Much to do! For only the equivalent of 16.00 usd you could have a day worth of fun! Kid friendly!
