There are numerous bathing facilities in Narita.
Most of them use water from natural hot springs, and many of them have saunas and outside baths.
Here are some bathing facilities that are easily accessible from Narita International Airport and can be enjoyed before or after your journey, or even for a day trip.
Taking a bath is a very effective way to relieve fatigue after a business trip or vacation.
Washing yourself and engulfing your whole body in a hot bath will refresh both your body and mind.
In fact, Narita, the gateway to the sky, is a hot spring area, with a number of hot spring facilities near Narita International Airport and Narita Station.
Most of them can be used for day trips, and there are also many so-called super baths, where you can enjoy not only bathing, but also massages, restaurants, and various other activities.
