How it scores
Every onsen on this site is scored on the same five things.
The baths
Indoor bath
Genuine natural hot spring: the operator states the water rises from 2,000m below ground at about 150 tonnes a day and is high in salt, which they describe as among the best in Tokyo. A formal spring-quality name is not published.
