How it scores
Every onsen on this site is scored on the same five things.
The baths
Indoor bath
Three separate large baths - Tengu-no-yu, Seseragi-no-yu and Suikei-no-yu - drawing on two waters, a calcium-sulphate spring and a sodium-sulphate spring, at about 42C. Each bath has a different set of shower heads to try.
Open-air bath
Open-air baths attached to the large baths, one with a dry sauna and cold plunge, another with bubble and jet tubs.

Book it

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.
