What is Inabe ageki Base like?
The warm and welcoming entrance features a hand-drawn map of InabeCity that is easy to understand at a glance.
With various pamphlets in hand, my imagination begins to run wild as I think about where I should go next.
The warmth of the wood and the friendly staff make me feel right at home.
Serow, a sauna lounge where men and women can enjoy together
It's common to see saunas that are for men only or women only, but the biggest attraction here is that both men and women can enjoy it together.
You're sure to have a great time with your family, friends, or as a couple.
Even though I am a sauna beginner, I was able to enjoy it to the fullest.
Enjoy loyly at "murmur"
Murmur is an auto-louver sauna inspired by the wind.
It is a spacious space with a capacity of approximately 25 people.
First, head to the main sauna and relax to your core.
I'm a sauna beginner, but I have a feeling I'll quickly become addicted to saunas.
The sauna is automatically activated once every 15 minutes, and staff regularly hold heat wave events.
There are many other events planned, so be sure to check the schedule on our website!
"Pitter-patter" at high temperature
Sauna pitter-patter inspired by rain.
This is a loyly sauna with a capacity of 8 people where you can enjoy dripping water.
The seat is high and close to the ceiling, so you can enjoy a higher temperature.
After taking a bath in the cold bath and enjoying the fresh air, head to the sauna where you can enjoy the high temperatures.
This sauna allows you to enjoy the aroma of the rare roasted green tea loyly.
Relax in a private room-like space at "Moon"
Moon is a spacious sauna where you can stretch your legs and accommodate up to three people.
You can melt the ice cubes in the stove and enjoy the aroma, steam, and sound.
It's darker than other saunas and has a star-shaped ceiling, making you feel as if you're under the stars. It's a great way to refresh both your body and mind.
End your day in this sauna...you'll never want to go home.
Relax in the outdoor bathing area
The outdoor bathing area is equipped with a cold bath and three types of relaxing chairs.
Unfortunately it was raining that day, but the raindrops felt nice.
If you're wondering where to go on a rainy day off, we recommend this sauna lounge.
There are two cold baths so you can enjoy them at your own pace.
I was worried that the sauna lounge would be crowded, but I was able to enjoy it thoroughly.
The unique appeal of the sauna lounge
As the name "Sauna Lounge" suggests, there is plenty of space to relax.
The indoor bathing space is also ample.
There are sauna features and magazines, and plenty of space so you can relax without worrying about being seen by others.
Make sure you have enough time to enjoy the day!
Free drinks and light snacks are also available.
Take a hot break with detox water or Ishigure tea, a specialty of InabeCity.
The salty taste of the nuts will fill your stomach.
You can bring your own swimsuit. They also have rentals so you don't have to worry.
Black shorts are loaned to men, and to women as shown in the photo (right).
The rental fee for swimsuits is 500 yen.
Sauna ponchos are available for rental (free of charge) for those using the sauna lounge.
The newly relocated Ueki Shokudo has become even more powerful
Ageki Shokudo is a very popular restaurant in InabeCity. It is also loved in ageki Shopping Arcade.
Kamiki Shokudo has reopened here at the Inabe ageki Base.
It has been powered up as "Shinkamigi Shokudo".
We use fertilizer-free, pesticide-free vegetables from our own farm, so our meals are good for both the environment and your body.
There are more seats than at our previous store, and it's more spacious and relaxed, but the care and attention to detail is the same as always.
It is a very warm shop where the philosophy is "we have always made everything we can by hand, and still do."
As the name suggests, please come and enjoy a meal at the newly upgraded Shinkamigi Shokudo.
Takego Lunch "Sakura Pork Roast with Whole Grain Mustard and Soy Sauce" (1,750 yen including tax)
This main lunch dish makes generous use of local brand pork and vegetables grown in our own farm.
Homemade mayonnaise and dressings, the theme being natural and healthy.
Enjoy local ingredients from InabeCity, such as Inabe-grown Koshihikari rice and cold tofu made from Inabe-grown soybeans.
Don't miss the seasonally changing menu.
Inabe's soba lunch "Inabe's Kitsune Soba" (1,500 yen including tax)
The soba noodles made with buckwheat flour from Inabe have a sweet and gentle taste.
The fried tofu made with soybeans from Inabe is fluffy yet satisfying.
I would definitely recommend trying it at least once.
I went on a rainy weekday, but it was full soon after opening.
Many customers were still waiting after the meal.
You can also purchase vegetables from our own farm, Happu Farm, as well as local specialties from InabeCity.
Introducing the hot spring lounge, equipped with Wi-Fi and power outlets!
ageki Onsen Ajisai no Sato, which has been loved for 15 years, has remained the same.
While retaining the hot springs beloved by locals, a sauna lounge and hot spring lounge have been newly added.
The hot spring lounge features a fireplace and various types of resting areas.
You can enjoy it in a variety of ways depending on your mood.
A workspace with excellent Wi-Fi and charging facilities.
You can relax after bathing.
We also have a wide selection of manga (1,500 volumes), magazines, and books.
There is also a space where you can relax and concentrate by yourself.
I like it here as it's calming.
Freshly ground coffee is also available free of charge.
I couldn't help but take a deep breath as well.
I was surprised at the reasonable admission fee!
It's a highly-equipped facility that makes you think, "It's a nice treat!", but I was surprised at how affordable it is.
