The serious bath on Ibaraki's northern coast, and the rare case where a hot 71C source is poured out without recirculation into an open-air bath set right above the Pacific at Izura. Day visitors are welcome for 1,100 yen in two windows, morning and evening, which is unusually generous for an inn of this class. Okakura Tenshin's Rokkakudo and the prefectural art museum are a short walk along the cliffs. No tattoo policy is published either way, so ask before you travel.

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

Open-air bath

Open-air bath on the Izura shore looking straight out at the Pacific; the source runs at 71C and the inn describes it as free-flowing.

Open to day visitors

Indoor bath

Large indoor bath with a picture window over the sea.

Open to day visitors

Private (kashikiri) bath

Two private baths, Tsubaki-no-yu and Hamagiku-no-yu, at 2,200 yen for 45 minutes. Whether day visitors may book them is not stated.

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.
