The closest inn to the Gozaisho ropeway, and the one that turns its baths outward: the open-air bath looks down on the Nagoya plain and is best after dark. Two private baths can be booked on a day visit for 2,750 yen per 45 minutes, which on paper makes this one of the better options in Yunoyama for anyone who cannot use a shared bath - except that the inn publishes no tattoo rule either way. The water is a simple spring from the inn's own source; pleasant, not remarkable.

Every onsen on this site is scored against the same written rubric, and every score has been reviewed by the editor. The ones marked Visited were also bathed in personally.

The baths

Indoor bath

Panoramic indoor bath facing the Suzuka mountains.

Open to day visitors

Open-air bath

Open-air bath looking out over the Nagoya plain; the night view is the inn's selling point.

Open to day visitors

Private (kashikiri) bath

Two private baths, one with micro-bubble jets, 2,750 yen per 45 minutes plus the bathing fee. Day-use slots start from 11:00 with the last at 15:15; booked at the front desk on the day, not in advance. They stand on higher ground and are reached by steps.

Open to day visitors

A private bath means nobody else is in the water with you — often the practical answer if the shared baths are closed to tattooed guests.
