△Somewhere to sit — A small rest area
○Anything else nearby — In the middle of things

The cheap communal bath at the centre of Unazuki, three minutes from the station and a short walk from the gorge railway. The water is Unazuki's mild, very clear weakly alkaline simple spring - pleasant rather than characterful - and the draw is the price and the position, not the bathing itself. Two bathing floors alternate between men and women daily, so a return visit gets you the other one.

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

Two separate bathing floors, Tsukimi-no-yu and Momo-no-yu, which swap between men and women on alternating days - so which bath you get depends on the day you turn up.

Open to day visitors

Open-air bath

Open-air bath on the third floor. It was closed for inspection and repairs during 2025 and the operator announced it back in service on 10 November 2025. There is also a free outdoor foot bath and a drinking-water spring point outside the building.

Open to day visitors

In the middle of the Unazuki Onsen resort at the mouth of the Kurobe Gorge, about 3 minutes on foot from Unazuki-onsen Station on the Toyama Chiho Railway, and about 25 minutes by car from Kurobe-Unazuki-Onsen Station on the Hokuriku Shinkansen. The Kurobe Gorge Railway terminus is a short walk away, which makes this the easiest cheap bath to combine with the gorge trip.
