Nozawa onsen is a charming town, and the efforts by the local authorities to promote its bathing culture resulted in a cute little booklet to collect ink-free stamps! I loved the approach, and used it to visit 10 different sites in town. It was in Japanese, but had numbers so I could figure out locations. At the end, I was awarded with an original towel with design by artist Taro Okamoto, so pretty! I recommend it for other travellers they do this, it costs less than 500 yen and makes a great adventure of your visit to the town. I arrived on a snowy/rainy day, and the information office went as far as to lent me a handkerchief to wipe the stamps! I loved their care for the utmost details, very happy with all the experience.

For a modest fee (500yen for adults) plus a bit more for towel hire you have access to modern, spacious and clean facilities. There is a large changing room with hairdriers and mirrors. The bathing area has individual cubicles, stools and buckets as well as body wash, shampoo and conditioner. Unlike the any other public free onsens there is choice of pool- indoor has 41-43c and 43-45c. There is also an undercover but outdoor pool- amazing to sit amongst the swirling onsen minerals and watch the snow fall

This Yu is in the Main Street of Nozawa. It’s an amazing building. Inside the ceiling soars. But the baths are often scalding hot. You might be able to turn the gold tap on to ensure the bath stays moderate but a villager will turn up and crank up the heat.

Truth be told, I had never been to a public bath before going there. I was fairly spektical. For a small fees, this place offers a good way to try. There are two outdoors pools where you need to wear a swim suit. The water in one bath is around 37 degrees Celsius, there other one 10 degrees higher. Also it is hot, the outside air keeps the whole experience enjoyable. The place is very well run and clean, which makes the whole experience less intimidating. I ended up spending more than two hours, and can’t wait to go back there.
