How it scores
Every onsen on this site is scored on the same five things.
The baths
Open-air bath
The signature bath is a large mixed-gender garden open-air bath; a bathing garment (yuami-gi) is worn and is included in the day-use price, with rentals also listed for women and men. There is also a women-only open-air bath.
Indoor bath
Separate men's and women's indoor baths. The men's side has two tubs fed by Well No.1 and Well No.3, so you can compare the two spring types. Free lockers and hairdryers in the changing room.

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.

Why not the train: the last leg to an onsen is usually a local bus with nowhere to put a suitcase. A fixed-price car is booked in English and quoted before you travel, tolls and fuel included.
