The second of Unzen's two 200-yen public bathhouses, open until 22:00 and closed on Wednesdays - which is exactly when the other one, Yunosato, is open, so between them the village has a cheap bath every day of the week. Indoor tub only and no lounge, but it is in the middle of the village a few minutes from the steam vents.

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.

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.
