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

A strong sodium chloride brine with one genuinely free-flowing tub, one minute from Shin-Narashino Station on the second floor of a shopping centre. The written tattoo policy is unusually thoughtful - covered with the house sheet and you bathe - and the building is built for staying: 20,000 manga volumes, stone-bed saunas, a co-working floor and sleeping cabins. Reclaimed-land surroundings and no view to speak of.

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 tubs include a genuinely free-flowing source tub, a high-concentration carbonated bath at around 1,000 ppm, jet baths, a rotating themed bath and a sauna run at 100C with a 10C cold tub.

Open to day visitors

Open-air bath

Open-air baths: a view tub and a lie-down bath, both stated to be diluted with water.

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.
