Guide
What visitors add
The water
One reviewer identifies a chloride-type spring that tastes salty (not drinkable) and notes the minerals whiten outdoor mirrors; another describes the water as pleasantly thick/slippery (torotto); at least three others simply praise the water quality. Indoor bath is set slightly hot per two reviewers.
stated by 6 visitors · May 2026 – Aug 2026Outdoor bath & sauna
Full facility set: indoor bath, open-air bath, sauna and cold plunge (at least four reviews mention the sauna, three the rotenburo). One reviewer details a 90 C L-shaped sauna for about 7 with no loyly; another lists a ~90 C sauna (capacity ~5), 2-person cold bath, and an outdoor 4-person barrel sauna; a third confirms the outdoor barrel sauna. One reviewer notes an utase-yu (waterfall spout) at the edge of the rotenburo running raw source water too hot to stand for more than seconds.
stated by 6 visitors · Apr 2026 – Aug 2026Outdoor bath & sauna
At least five reviews praise the panoramic view (Tone river, mountains, Shibukawa) from the open-air bath / outdoor sauna area. One reviewer notes you cannot see the view while actually sitting in the rotenburo - it is seen from the bath entrances - and that the rotenburo is partly roofed so usable in rain.
stated by 5 visitors · Apr 2026 – Aug 2026Towels, soap & lockers
Body soap, shampoo and conditioner are provided at 8 washing stations (one reviewer; another notes outdoor washing stations too). Towels are rented for about 150 yen. Lockers require a 100-yen coin, and one reviewer complains the locker count is small.
stated by 5 visitors · May 2026 – Aug 2026Private bath
A reservable private (kashikiri) bath exists - four distinct reviews mention using it. One reviewer details: only one private bath, 50-minute slots with the last from 20:00, facility admission (~700 yen) charged on top, towels ~150 yen extra, shampoo/body wash provided but no face wash or skin lotion; they warn weekend/holiday slots may be hard to book.
stated by 4 visitors · May 2026 – Aug 2026Day-use visits
Operates as a day-use onsen (one reviewer says so explicitly; others visited on day trips). No opening hours appear in reviews other than the private bath's last 50-minute slot starting at 20:00. Two reviewers advise weekdays are quiet while weekends may be crowded.
