Karako-no-yu stands fifty metres from the main building in virgin beech forest, so you walk out to it through the trees - the most straightforwardly beautiful open-air bath in the Nyuto group. The inn itself is dated and there is nowhere to sit afterwards, and the women-only slot at the mixed bath falls after day-use hours end, so day visitors meet it as a mixed bath.

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.

Open to day visitors

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.

Open to day visitors
