This is probably the best onsen in the town (they have two, the silver and the gold). Here’s the procedure, or what they call Caution of the Bath />


1. Take off shoes, put in lovker to the right of the entryway (there are more lockers later!).


2. Pay for the bath tickets at the machine.


3. Exchange ticket for locker key at the entrance (lady will take your ticket). Purchase small towel from lady (more like a washcloth, 200 yen).


4. Walk up stairs and enter into the locker area (separate one for ladies and men).


5. Find your locker, take off all clothes and place in locker.


6. Enter into bath with towel only.


7. Wash yourself thoroughly with shower and soap before entering into the bath.


8. Enter into the bath. There are 2, one hotter one (44 C) and one a bit cooler (42 C). Soak.


9. Rinse off in clear water bath. That’s it!
