Ishikawa Kaga-shi Yamashiro Onsen 18-128

"This public bathhouse, located in Yamashiro Onsen, is a remodeled ""soyu"" (a public bathhouse which only uses water direct from a source spring) dating to the Meiji period. The rest area on the second floor as well as the Kutani war tiles used to cover the floors and walls of the bathing rooms have been restored to their original glory, and guests can enjoy hot spring bathing while also experiencing the history of Yamashiro Onsen. In addition to its exterior and interior, another point worthy of note is the bathhouse' recreation of the ""yuami"" style of bathing used at the time."

We stayed here because it is quieter than Yamanaka. However, you can visit the temple, public bath houses, some souvenirs shop. Ate teshoku dinner here on the Main Street and it was authentic and...

Hyogo Pref. Toyokashi Kinosakichouyushima 415-1

The name (meaning “the Best Hot Spring”) of this historic hot spring bath facility is derived from the Yakusen, a book written by mid-Edo period doctor Kagawa Shutoku, who wrote that it was the best hot spring bath in the world. The Yumepa bath ticket allows purchasers to visit bathe as much as they like at seven different hot spring facilities, including Ichinoyu, whose waters have are said to bring good fortune. The facility is famous for its rock cavern bath, which was naturally carved out of the bare mountain and whose water quality is said to be the best in the country. The magnificent building, reminiscent of a Momoyama-style kabuki theater, has become a symbol of the Kinosaki Onsen area.

This is the onsen with the outdoor cave pool. It’s pretty cool to soak in a mock cave but I actually preferred the indoor pool and the jets.... plus the indoor pool is a degree or so hotter. Both...

Noboribetsu Onsen

Hokkaido Noboribetsu-shi Noboribetsuonsencho

This hot spring area, one of the country’s foremost, is blessed with an abundance of high quality hot spring waters. There are nine varieties of source springs found in the area, each with its own coloration and purported health benefits, including sulfur springs, chloride springs, alum springs, sulfate springs, melanterite springs, iron springs, acidic springs, alkaline springs, and radium springs. In the indigenous Ainu language, “nupur pet” means “white, cloudy river” or “dark colored river;” believed to be the phrase from which the Japanese place name “Noboribetsu” is derived. It also alludes to the area’s abundance of hot water, which is so great that it even changes the color of the river. Many people come here to enjoy the area’s distinctive and atmospheric hot spring hotels and inns, and to enjoy a day trip spent sampling different bathhouses. The area offers plenty of opportunities for sightseeing, including picturesque Noboribetsu Jigokudani (Hell Valley), Oyunuma Pond, and Tessen Pond, plus destinations like famous scenery, historic sites, and theme parks.

Oita Pref. Beppushi Kannawakami 1 set

Visitors to this municipal hot spring facility can enjoy a steam bath which involves wearing a robe and lying in a stone hut blanketed with medicinal plants as hot spring steam warms their entire body.

The facility also features an indoor bath where you can wash away the sweat from the steam bath, and an outdoor foot bath which is free to all.

This was a new experience for me. You first go onsen, and then you go to a small room and stay there for 8 min. It was not like a sauna, this was more comfortable. And the onsen was also clean and...

Tokyo Nishitamagunhinodemachi Oguno 4718

A day trip hot spring bath facility opened in 1996 in Hinode Town, Nishitama County, Tokyo. “Tsurutsuru” means ‘smooth’ in Japanese, and just as its name implies, the highly alkaline waters of the facility’s baths, drawn from 1,500 meters below the ground, will make your skin noticeably smoother. In the bathhouse’s spacious, 108 tatami mat-sized “panorama” restaurant, sunlight filters in between the trees outdoors through large windows; here you can enjoy a set which comes with Akigawa beef served on a Japanese hackberry leaf or Masakado nabe hotpot with Ome pork.

Kitagawa Onsen, Higashiizu-cho, Kamo-gun, Shizuoka Prefecture

Located on the coast in Shizuoka Prefecture’s Kamo County, Higashiizu Town, this is a publicly managed open-air bath right on the edge of the ocean. Just as its catch phrase of “bathing in an open-air bath while looking at America” implies, the view is outstanding. One can enjoy bathing with the ocean at eye level, and it is a popular spot that attracts hot spring lovers from all over the country. One of the three bathtubs is exclusively for women, and it is possible to enter the bath while wearing a bath towel. From 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. all of the baths are women-only.

I spoke with the proprietors. In the past year (2018) the baths have been redone such that there is a permanent womens bath and mens bath, both opening to the sea. As such, this is not a mixed...
