Natura Takarazuka

Natura Spa is a modern facility that continues the long history of hot springs in Takarazuka, famous for the Takarazuka Revue theater troupe. The spa uses both 'Gold' and 'Silver' waters similar to those in nearby Arima Onsen. The facility's architecture, designed by Tadao Ando, features minimalist concrete and glass, offering a sleek, sophisticated environment. It caters to a diverse crowd, including theater-goers and locals. The rooftop outdoor bath is for women only, while other areas are mixed or alternate. Because of its modern, urban character and Ando's international profile, the facility is relatively progressive and is often reported to be welcoming to travelers with tattoos, provided they are not overly large or intimidating.
