This was an extraordinary experience in itself! This is was a steam room like no other! It is really really hot so not for the faint hearted! The lady at the Onsen although could not speak well English we were able to understand each other. Man one side (left) women on the other side (right). Once in, it is the same rules as in a Japanese public bath, you wash yourself and then get dressed in a yukata (sort of casual home kimono) and then a lovely lady guides you to the steam room (picture attached) Wow! It is hot and very narrow, so you enter almost on your knees and lie down on a bed of grassy straw for 8 min. The lady has a timer so she will let you know when to get out but you can also leave earlier if you need to. But wow, when you are in it is a great feeling of calm and relaxation. This is a really local and very Japanese onsen. LOVED IT!

We came here for the Sand bath experience after reading the reviews. This place is relatively new and clean. It looks like it has been renovated and the baths are huge. There are many baths and pools, and they even have a steam bath. We spent nearly 2 hrs here and we came after 7 thinking that they still have the after-hours admission rate. I think they have done away with the night rate and charge everyone the same ¥780 for admission, and ¥380 for yukata rental. Even paying the full price, i would still recommend this place, its well worth it.
