● An Ultimate Combo: Japanese Garden & Foot Bath

The best part of Solaniwa Onsen was its 3,300 square meter Japanese garden. Open air was vast and empowering. I felt as if everything there was all mine!
Who could have imagined a little elevator near the changing room can take you to this tasteful garden on the 4th floor of a building?!

Foot bath is a great spot to enjoy the garden view. Overlooking the pond and the garden, it’s such a peaceful scenery. And, foot bath improves blood circulation and warms your body from the core. It’s a win-win!
Aggghhhhhh, it felt absolutely wonderful, from feet up!

Inside the garden, I also found small shrines and a series of torii gates, just like the ones at Kyoto’s famous Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, all creating very Japanese Instagramable spots.

There’s no need to worry about the cold in winter—hanten coats padded with thick cotton will keep you cozy and warm. And, these hanten come with Solaniwa Onsen written with Kanji characters on the back. Very cool♪
Right now, this beautiful Japanese garden is illuminated at night. It must be even more beautiful!

● All-You-Can-Read 10,000 Manga

Solaniwa Onsen offers a number of resting spots—tatami area, couch & sofa room, recliner room—but my favorite was the library!

Books filled the walls like a bookstore, boasting a collection of more than 10,000 books. Japanese manga and anime are popular in my country, and I couldn’t help but notice they had the entire series of Dragon Ball, the most popular in Peru. The great selection almost makes you dizzy but I managed to pick out NARUTO I’d been wanting to read.
As the name indicates, the recliner rooms have comfortable reclining chairs equipped with TV—keep the volume down though because some people are sleeping!
It was so relaxing. I ended up spending more time than I intended.

Checkout was super easy. You can go to the counter to settle your bill, or go to the self-checkout for a smooth and quick payment process. The machines conveniently offer multiple language options.

Solaniwa Onsen is indeed an onsen theme park where you can spend the entire day and still want more!
Parts of Solaniwa Onsen I didn’t see during this visit—stone sauna, private bath, costume rental (you can be a samurai!!)—all sound great. Next time, though, I might just go back and forth between the baths and manga library and stay until the morning. Or, I’ll go with my family and rent a private bath. So many possibilities!
I recommend you go check it out too, with your family, friends, boyfriends, or girlfriends. You are sure to find your way of fun at Solaniwa Onsen♪
