○Somewhere to sit — You can spend the day here
×Anything else nearby — Nothing else around

A municipal day-use bath renovated in 2022, with a free-flowing open-air bath looking down on the green water of the Sho river and mountains all around. There is a big tatami rest room and a restaurant, so it holds an afternoon. The catch is transport: the local bus stops outside but does not run at weekends or on holidays, so without a car this is a weekday-only trip. No spring analysis is published, so spring quality is left unscored.

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.

Getting there
Above the Sho river in the Taira district of Nanto, in the Gokayama valley. The Nanto municipal bus stops right outside at Yuraku - but that bus does not run on Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays, which is exactly when most travellers would want it, so plan on a car at weekends. By car it is about 23 minutes from the Gokayama interchange. There is a large tatami rest room and a restaurant on site.
