A roomy stone tub in the Tsuchitaru hamlet, away from the resort and quiet because of it. It is the one Yuzawa bathhouse you cannot reach on foot from the station and there is nothing else out here, so it only makes sense if you are already driving.

Scored from official photos, maps and transport information — not from a visit.

The baths

Indoor bath

A stone-built tub taking about fifteen people, in the Tsuchitaru hamlet away from the resort. Roomy enough for families. Indoor only.
