An Artistic Bath Inspired by the Nature and Seasons of Shiga Kogen

Grand Bath Renovation: December 1, 2024

As part of the “Sachinoyu Mural Art Project,” up-and-coming artist Shotaro Sanada—highly acclaimed both in Japan and abroad—spent 10 days creating dynamic murals that capture the beauty of Shiga Kogen’s nature and four seasons.

Whether you’re familiar with Shiga Kogen or discovering it for the first time, just soaking in the bath will let you feel the magic of this region.

The murals are designed to be best appreciated from inside the bath, perfectly positioned at eye level while you relax. Take your time and let the warmth of the water and the beauty of Sanada’s artwork connect you to the landscapes of Shiga Kogen.

【Mural Themes】

  • Men’s Bath: Shiga at Sunset

  • Women’s Bath: Oike Pond in Summer and Autumn

  • Changing Area: The Flow of Tomorrow
