With the concept of "Modern Toji Gentle on the Body," Only You has provided a relaxing hot spring experience for extended stays, featuring alkaline hot springs with a pH of 9.5 (beauty skin hot springs), lukewarm water at 38°C, and a location surrounded by deciduous forests. It has also been selected as a model facility for Kanagawa Prefecture's "Me-byo Improvement (Western Kanagawa Region Revitalization)".
Responding to the rising popularity of saunas in recent years, the facility first introduced a sauna in the men's outdoor bath area in December 2024. In response to requests such as "We want to deliver the ultimate sauna experience that can only be offered here, surrounded by nature, to our female customers as well," the decision was made to introduce the Barrel Sauna to the women's outdoor bath area.
