×Somewhere to sit — Bathe and leave
○Anything else nearby — In the middle of things

The most carefully finished interior in Jozankei, standing at the Yu-no-machi bus stop, with a steam bath fed by vapour taken straight off the source. Day visitors get only the two indoor halls in a three-hour window, since the basement open-air bath and the private baths are reserved for overnight guests.

Scored from official photos, maps and transport information — not from a visit.

The baths

Indoor bath

Two large baths, 'Tsukiji no Yu' and 'Katen no Yu', both open to day visitors. A steam bath draws vapour straight off the source.

Open to day visitors

Open-air bath

The basement open-air bath 'Yu-Meimi' (500 yen, 15:00-23:00) is for staying guests only, and children are asked not to use it because it is run as a meditation bath.

Overnight guests only

Private (kashikiri) bath

Private baths on the 5th and 6th floors, 2,200 yen per room for 50 minutes, 12:00-24:00 and 6:00-10:00. The inn states explicitly that the private baths, the rock-sauna and Yu-Meimi are for staying guests only, so they are NOT a way in for a tattooed day visitor.

Overnight guests only

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.
