Mixed-Gender Large Open-Air Bath, Ryugunoyu
TypeNatural Hot Spring
Built in the first year of the Meiji era, this is Japan's largest mixed-gender open-air bath, spanning 120-tsubo. It uses famed hot spring water flowing from the inn's own source on the premises, with no added water or heating at all, in 100% free-flowing natural spring style. The gentle, smooth water clings softly to the skin like natural lotion. Surrounded by a vast garden and offering an overwhelming sense of openness, you can luxuriate in the hot spring in a dreamlike atmosphere until nearly midnight.
