Yunoyama's private-bath specialist: three stone baths of different character, redone in 2021, all bookable by day visitors for 60 minutes from 4,400 yen. One takes a wheelchair and one is set up for babies, which is rare. The spring itself is a plain low-alkaline simple water from the village source, and the shared baths are ordinary; the reason to come is the hour alone. No tattoo policy is published, so confirm before travelling.

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

Large indoor bath.

Open to day visitors

Open-air bath

Open-air bath facing Mt Gozaisho with the Mitaki river below.

Open to day visitors

Private (kashikiri) bath

Three stone private baths, renewed in November 2021: one in cypress, one in Shigaraki pottery, one tiled. One is wheelchair-accessible and one has a baby bed, chair and soap. Booked at the front desk on arrival.

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.
