Haki no Kaze is a private family-bath facility in Asakura using hot-spring water from the Harazuru Onsen area. Every party uses its own room, making it convenient for couples, families with children and travellers who prefer not to enter a communal bath.
Rooms cannot be reserved in advance and are assigned on a first-come basis. Prices depend on room capacity, day and duration, so confirm the category before paying.

Three price categories
Type A rooms hold up to three people and cost ¥2,400 on weekdays or ¥2,600 on weekends and holidays for 60 minutes; a 30-minute extension is ¥1,200. Type B holds up to four and costs ¥2,600 or ¥2,900, with a ¥1,300 extension. Type C holds up to five and costs ¥3,100 or ¥3,300, with a ¥1,400 extension. Extension availability depends on crowding.
Choose a room style
Rooms use different materials and bath shapes, including wood-lined tubs, goemon-style round baths, stone baths and rooms with a tatami rest area. A preferred design may already be occupied because reservations are not taken. Decide whether capacity, a lower tub edge or a rest area matters more than a specific photograph.
Arrival and waiting strategy
On weekdays the facility opens at noon; weekends and holidays begin at 10:00. Final reception is 20:00 even though bathing ends at 21:00. Popular times can produce a wait, so arrive near opening or outside the late-afternoon peak. Check the official site for temporary closure before making the trip, especially around holidays when the regular closure can move to Wednesday.
Private does not mean rule-free
Wash before soaking, keep towels out of the bath and supervise children closely around hot water and slippery floors. Ask directly about tattoo policy, the number of bathers counted in each category and whether infants count toward capacity. The facility is easiest by car; after bathing, rehydrate and rest before driving if you feel light-headed.
