○Somewhere to sit — You can spend the day here

The ryokan half of the Wakita complex, and the reason to choose it over the day-use bath house next door is that one ticket gets you everything: its own indoor bath, free run of the nine open-air tubs at Yunozen no Sato, and private baths for an extra fee. A 3,000 yen boxed lunch with the bath included is a soft way into a proper ryokan. The valley is quiet and green; the water is gentle rather than striking.

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

The inn's own large indoor bath, included in every day plan.

Open to day visitors

Open-air bath

Day-plan and staying guests use the nine open-air tubs of Yunozen no Sato, the sister day-use bath house on the same grounds, at no extra charge.

Open to day visitors

Private (kashikiri) bath

Private baths - Yumegomori inside the inn and the six Hidamari rooms on the grounds - are available to day-plan guests for an extra fee.

Open to day visitors

In-room bath

Some guest rooms have their own hot-spring bath. Overnight guests only.

Overnight 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.
