△Somewhere to sit — A small rest area
×Anything else nearby — Nothing else around

An isolated inn on the Sea of Japan side of Kyoto Prefecture with an enormous open-air bath - room for around a hundred bathers at once - fed entirely by free-flowing source water with no recirculation. Day bathing is 600 yen and there is a canteen on site, but a car is effectively required to reach it.

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

The baths

Open-air bath

The reason to come: a genuinely huge open-air bath, big enough for around 100 bathers at once, fed 100% by free-flowing source water with no recirculation. The men's and women's sides swap daily. Overnight guests may bathe until 22:00 and from 6:00.

Open to day visitors

Indoor bath

Indoor bathing alongside the open-air bath. Rinse-in shampoo and body soap provided; razors, hair caps and toothbrushes sold at the counter.

Open to day visitors
