Isawa is a large, ordinary hot-spring town of big hotels; this small ryokan is the reason to stop there. A self-flowing source of 1,415 litres a minute, piped directly to the tubs with nothing done to it - among the most convincing free-flowing water claims in the dataset. No view, and the day-use hours need a phone call.

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

The baths

Indoor bath

The draw is the water, not the view: the ryokan's own spring rises under the site without pumping at about 1,415 litres a minute and is piped straight into each tub with no recirculation, no reheating, no added water and no chlorination. The 'Kaki no Yu' bathhouse overflows so heavily the operator likens it to a river. The same water feeds the taps and showers, and you may take spring water home from the entrance.

Open to day visitors
