Many diverse baths all over the building, also many of the rooms have their own private outdoor hot spring baths and there is a rental private family bath. The food was also outstanding. Great value for the money.

ReviewA rather large collection of baths in view of a giant dam along the river. Much more of a thing than the public bath in Misasa Onsen. This is a full nude mixed bathing area. Please be respectful of any women using the baths. Places like this are quite rare and very unique to Japan. Very fun and relaxing. A must try.
Update January 2020: They now offer rental bathing gowns for women. (¥2000 including a ¥1000 refundable deposit)
