How to visit, step by step
- Book a time on the hotel's online booking page, by phone or by LINE. Only 20 people can be in the bath at once, so booking is safer than just turning up
- Take the hotel shuttle from Beitou or Xinbeitou Station, or walk up from Xinbeitou
- Pay per person: NT$1,600 on weekdays and NT$1,800 on weekends and public holidays from October to March, and NT$1,600 every day from April to September. One entry, up to 4 hours
- Men's and women's baths are separate and nude: no swimsuits or underwear in the water. Shower first and tie up long hair or wear a bath cap
- Phones and all devices are banned in the whole bath area, including the changing and rest rooms, so leave them in your locker
- You must be 12 or older. The hotel's private rooms don't accept one person, so the public bath is the option when you're on your own
Don't miss: The outdoor pool in the garden, then turns in the cold pool and the steam room, with no phones around.
Best time to go alone: A weekday morning or evening. Avoid Thursdays 11:00-15:00, when it closes for maintenance.
