Nostalgic Japanese-style hot spring pool ~ Chuan Tang

Source / Monocle Editorial Department

Located at the end of Xingyi Road, Chuan Tang adopts a nostalgic Japanese style. The two-story wooden building features a counter reminiscent of an izakaya, with private rooms named after Japanese cities such as Hakodate. Coupled with the occasional sound of Japanese enka music drifting in, it offers a distinctly Kyoto-like ambiance.

Fronted by a valley stream and backed by green mountains, the area is quite expansive, divided into separate spaces for dining, tea tasting, public hot springs, private hot springs, and private karaoke rooms, ensuring guests enjoy undisturbed experiences.

Both the men’s and women’s public hot spring areas feature cold and hot pools, water jets, and hydrotherapy SPA, moderately enclosed by bamboo fences. Surrounded by trees on all sides, they create fully open-air hot spring pools.
