How it scores
Every onsen on this site is scored on the same five things.
The baths
Indoor bath
Indoor bath fed by the natural Arashiyama hot spring - a simple spring (hypotonic, weakly alkaline), 35.2 degrees at source, pH 7.80 - plus a 'silky bath' clouded with micro-bubbles.
Open-air bath
Open-air rock bath in central Arashiyama, with seasonal 'kawari-yu' baths (fruit and the like floated in the water) at times of year.
Practical details
- Day visits
- Yes — you can bathe without staying overnight.12:00-22:00, last entry 21:30, open every day
- Day visit price
- ¥1,200The rate table on the official top page reads 1,200 yen on weekdays and 1,400 yen at weekends and on public holidays for adults (junior-high age and up); 600 yen for ages 3 to primary school and 300 yen for under-3s on any day. Note that the site's own price page still shows two older tables (1,100/1,300 and 1,000/1,200), so budget for the higher figure. Bath towel rental 250 yen, face towel 150 yen. There is no restaurant on site.

About the day-pass link: Asoview is the main place day-use onsen in Japan sell entry tickets and discount coupons in advance. It is a Japanese-only site, so use your browser’s translation — you show the ticket on your phone at the door.

Why not the train: the last leg to an onsen is usually a local bus with nowhere to put a suitcase. A fixed-price car is booked in English and quoted before you travel, tolls and fuel included.
