How it scores
Every onsen on this site is scored on the same five things.
The baths
Open-air bath
'Karako-no-yu', the mixed open-air bath, sits 50 m from the main building in virgin forest - you walk out to it. The inn sets a women-only slot of 19:30-20:30, which falls after day-use hours end, so day visitors face it as a mixed bath.
Indoor bath
Gender-separated indoor baths in the main building; Semboku City's leaflet lists one mixed and one women's open-air bath in addition.
