How it scores
Every onsen on this site is scored on the same five things.
The baths
Open-air bath
'Sandan no Yu' on level B3, right at the waterline: a standing bath 120 cm deep so that you soak upright with the sea filling your field of view and reading as continuous with the tub.
Indoor bath
'Umi no Yu' (B2) with hot, warm and cold tubs plus seasonal herbal baths (mugwort, iris, yuzu), and 'Nami no Yu' (B1), from which you look down onto the Pacific.

Book it
The links below are affiliate links — we may earn a commission if you book through them, at no extra cost to you. It never changes what we list or how we score it.
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.
