Basho Tsukimachi no Yu

This day-use hot spring bathhouse is located in Tsuru City, Yamanashi Prefecture. Japanese haiku master Matsuo Basho once stayed in the area, and the facility's name comes from his love of the moon's beauty. The simple alkaline spring is said to help alleviate nerve pain, sore muscles, and sore joints. It has two kinds of outdoor baths, a rock encircled bath and one bordered with larger stones. The indoor baths have varying water temperatures. The men's and women's bathing areas alternate each week, and each of the outdoor bathing areas has a stone monument to Matsuo Basho. They provide body soap and shampoo, and they rent towels too. In addition to a large lounge where you can unwind, you can visit their eatery for their meal sets or to try Hoto noodles, a Yamanashi specialty.
