Urban Quar Spa & Living, Public bath in Naka Ward, Nagoya, Japan.
Urban Quar Spa & Living is a thermal bath facility in Nagoya featuring eleven different pool types, including carbonated and jet baths, supplied by geothermal water from 800 meters below ground. The space spans multiple levels with rest areas equipped with computers, massage chairs, and complimentary beverages.
The facility was established to preserve Japanese bathing culture while introducing modern comforts in a contemporary setting. Its location near Castle Town Memorial Bridge connects it to Nagoya's historical landscape.
Visitors follow Japanese bathing customs by washing at individual stations before entering shared thermal pools, a ritual that shapes how the space is used and experienced.
The facility operates from early morning until late at night, with a free shuttle service connecting to nearby Sakae Station for convenient access. Visitors should plan to spend time in the rest areas, as moving between different pools naturally extends a visit.
The upper levels contain spacious rest zones where visitors relax between baths using massage equipment or enjoying complimentary beverages for hours. This place functions more as a wellness destination than a quick bathing stop.
