The town's municipal bathhouse, open from 6:00 in the morning for 300 yen. Indoor tubs and nothing else - no view, no lounge - but it stands at the entrance to the Obama seafront strip with free parking, and getting into hot spring water before breakfast for the price of a coffee is the point. Obama is a seaside hot-spring town on the Tachibana Bay, not a mountain retreat.

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

Indoor bathing only. Obama's water is a hot, salty spring; this is a plain municipal bathhouse rather than a spa.

Open to day visitors

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.
