How it scores
Every onsen on this site is scored on the same five things.
The baths
Indoor bath
One indoor bath each for men and women (alkaline simple spring, Ohiradai source). Staying guests 13:00-24:00 and 5:00-10:00; day visitors 13:00-20:00 (last entry 19:30).
Open-air bath
One open-air bath each for men and women, ringed by cypress forest, fed by an acidic Owakudani source. Located in the Honkan building only (there is no bath in the Bekkan annex).
In-room bath
ALL guest rooms (both Honkan and Bekkan) have a private open-air hot-spring bath; staying 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.

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.
Getting in from the airport

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.
