How it scores
Every onsen on this site is scored on the same five things.
The baths
Indoor bath
Sodium bicarbonate spring, free-flowing. Large tub by neighbourhood-bath standards. The water often runs very hot, so if someone is already in, greet them before adding cold water. Unusual entrance with the men's and women's doors set diagonally opposite each other.

Why Agoda for Japan: it lists a lot of ryokan and small inns that the Western booking sites never picked up, and it usually prices Japanese properties in yen, so you are not paying a conversion spread on top of the room rate. Worth comparing before you book — the difference on a ryokan is often larger than you would expect.
About the day-pass link: Asoview is the main place day-use onsen in Japan sell entry tickets and discount coupons in advance. It is a Japanese-only site, so use your browser’s translation — you show the ticket on your phone at the door.
