stated by 4 visitors · Feb 2023 – Aug 2025The bath
What you’ll find
The large bath of a Kishu Railway hotel in the Kitakaruizawa/Baragi area that uses trucked-in, recirculated and reheated Baragi Onsen water rather than kakenagashi; day-use bathing is offered but unreliably -- closed in winter, sometimes turning away non-guests in high season, and the hotel's own website has listed day-use as available when it was not.

What visitors add
Price
Reported admission conflicts: two reviewers in August 2025 paid ¥500, while four reviewers (2020-2025, including May 2025) cite ¥600. One reviewer notes hotel guests pay only the bathing tax.
stated by 6 visitors · Oct 2020 – Aug 2025Day-use visits
This is a hotel bath whose day-use availability is unreliable: one reviewer notes day-use starts at 15:00 and warns of queueing behind hotel check-in guests to buy a ticket; one reviewer (May 2025) was refused day-use bathing despite the website saying it was available; another (Aug 2025) says day visitors were refused during high season the previous year but accepted on all days this year; one reviewer found it closed for winter (Feb 2023), and one notes there are closure days to watch out for.
stated by 5 visitors · Oct 2020 – Aug 2025Outdoor bath & sauna
Reports differ over time: one October 2025 reviewer (in English) describes the men's side as having an indoor and an outdoor bath plus a decently sized sauna, while a 2020 reviewer said there was only an indoor bath. Two reviewers note the baths are not large.
stated by 4 visitors · Oct 2020 – Oct 2025Staffing
The bath is inside a hotel (two reviewers identify it as the Kishu Railway hotel's large bath) with staffed hotel reception handling day-use tickets; one refused reviewer found the staff response cold.
stated by 3 visitors · Oct 2017 – May 2025The water
Two distinct reviewers describe the water as (weakly) alkaline; one calls it clear/transparent.
stated by 2 visitors · Oct 2017 – May 2025Water handling
Not kakenagashi: two distinct reviewers state the onsen water is transported in (one saying from the lakeside) and one of them specifies it is recirculated and reheated.
