○Somewhere to sit — You can spend the day here
△Anything else nearby — Nearby, but off to one side

Sixteen open-air baths in a wooded garden at different temperatures and from different sources for 700 yen, plus a restaurant and somewhere to sit afterwards - the best value in Okuhida and walkable from the Hirayu bus terminal. Day visitors can also book one of the two iron-pot private baths between 12:00 and 15:00.

The baths

Open-air bath

Sixteen open-air baths in a wooded garden, seven on the men's side and nine on the women's, at different temperatures and from different sources.

Open to day visitors

Indoor bath

A large indoor bath holding around 30 people, with a retro feel. There is also an indoor bath reserved for overnight guests.

Open to day visitors

Private (kashikiri) bath

Two 'iron-pot' private open-air baths. Day visitors can book them 12:00-15:00 (last reception 14:15) for 3,000 yen per room; free for overnight guests. This is the practical option here for anyone who does not want to use the shared baths.

Open to day visitors

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.

Staying overnight
Yes
Getting there
In Hirayu Onsen, a short walk from the Hirayu Onsen bus terminal - the interchange for buses from Takayama, Matsumoto, Kamikochi and Shinhotaka. One of the few Okuhida baths that is genuinely easy without a car.
