Spa World

The enormous hot spring theme park Spa World is located in Osaka's Shinsekai district. The amenities include a number of gender-separated hot spring pools and saunas with various international themes, restaurants, kid-friendly play spaces, sports gyms, tanning beds, massage services, gift shops, and hotels. The European Zone is on the fourth story, while the Asian Zone is on the sixth floor, both of which have natural hot spring swimming areas. Each of these zones has a gender assigned to it, which changes every month.

There are many magnificently themed bathing places in the European Zone, including a Jacuzzi with an Ancient Rome theme, a medicinal bath with a Greek theme, and a Finnish bath house and sauna. In the Asian Zone, there are baths designed in the Persian and Balinese styles as well as more traditional Japanese hinoki cypress wood spas. Mud spas, several types of saunas, and outdoor bathing facilities can be found in both zones. On the third floor, there are 8 stone saunas with international themes. The cost for using these saunas, which are located in a different area from the onsen baths, is 800 yen during the week and 1000 yen on the weekends. Once inside the sauna area, you are free to stay there as long as you like. The last admittance is at 17.00, and this section is open from 10:00 to 18:00. On the eighth story, there is a swimming pool area with rides, water slides, and an outdoor hot tub with a view. Although a bathing costume is required here, you can hire one for 600 yen if you forgot to bring your own. The area's swimming pools are included in the regular admission price, however there is an additional charge to utilize the slides and attractions and many more services.
