Kazawa Onsen Momijikan Day-use Onsen

One reviewer cites the old classification 'bicarbonate-bitter spring' (含重曹－苦味泉), not salty, with brown mineral deposits crusted around the tub; another tastes a soft saltiness. Appearance conflicts: one reviewer describes iron-tinged cloudy water, one pale-cloudy water, and one (Aug 2026) found it colorless with no sulfur smell. Temperature skews hot: one read a posted bath temperature of 44.8°C and lasted only 20 minutes in total, another estimates 43°C ('want to get out after 5 minutes'), a third says slightly hot — while one reviewer (also Aug 2026) found it slightly lukewarm, attributing that to added water.

There are NO showers or taps — four distinct reviewers confirm this. You wash using bath water and two waterfall-style spouts (one warm, one cold, per one reviewer; another describes washing with tub water and fall water). Shampoo and body soap ARE provided per one reviewer. One reviewer notes free key lockers (no coin) near the dining room; another complains the hair dryer is worn out with only weak airflow.

Indoor bath only — two reviewers state there is just one small indoor tub, with no mention of any outdoor bath or sauna by anyone. It is tiny: one reviewer says the tub fits about 4 people, another says the men's bath maxes out at 3; one warns groups (e.g. after skiing) to go elsewhere.

Day-use admission is 600 yen as of August 2026 (two reviewers), raised by 100 yen — one reviewer paid 500 yen in February 2026. Payment is made at the reception desk.

Two reviewers describe the bath as source-fed kakenagashi with abundant water; a third (Aug 2026) says water is added to the source (kasui), which they blame for the water being slightly cooler than expected.

Staffed: one reviewer describes paying 600 yen at a reception desk and being directed by the proprietor through the dining room to reach the bath (the layout is winding, with steps — another reviewer calls it 'full of level changes and convoluted').
