'Sandan no Yu' is down at the waterline, a standing bath 120 cm deep so that you soak upright and the Pacific reads as continuous with the tub - one of the best sea baths on this coast, and open to day visitors from 13:00. The rest is a comfortable modern resort hotel with a 30-metre free footbath terrace, though it is a bus ride south of the main beach and no private bath is listed if a tattoo rule matters to you.

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