The bath
What you’ll find
A traditional rural onsen with a separated communal bath plus eight paid private family baths (family baths are booked by the hour); source water is very hot but reviewers repeatedly report the outdoor bath and showers running lukewarm to cold in winter, so it suits summer visits best.
