How it scores
Every onsen on this site is scored on the same five things.
The baths
Indoor bath
Large indoor baths in a ryokan set in a 10,000-tsubo Japanese garden that day-use visitors may stroll.
Open-air bath
Open-air baths facing the garden.
Private (kashikiri) bath
Private baths are reservation-only and charged; the official day-use page did not state whether day visitors can book them.
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.
