Public bath No.9 O-yu — Attraction in Yamanouchi

Very confusing as a foreigner. You need to first buy a ticket from the tourist information centre. And then once you have the ticket you need to find a local shopowner (indicated on the ticket) to unlock the onsen for you. DO NOT use the shoe locker to the left of the men’s entrance, I could not unlock it as I had to get a very kind local to unlock it for me as it seemed to be broken. You can place your shoes inside the onsen and there are also lockers that do work inside. Honestly, I’m not sure it is worth the hassle. Save your money for...

Must do, especially if you aren't staying in one of the ryokans that gives you access to the nine onsens, in which case this is the only one you'll have access to. It was my first experience of an ultra authentic onsen - no washing stations, no showers, just the bath, and no soaps allowed. It also has a natural steam room - which comes with a natural steam smell too :-)

Make sure you know the etiquette before you...

前日に渋温泉の若木屋さんに宿泊。

朝の散歩の帰りに大湯に寄りました。

此方の外湯は浴槽が二つと蒸し風呂が あります。

最初、蒸し風呂に5分程入り汗が

充分出たところで入口側の 浴槽のみ入りました。

湯温はかなり熱いですね。🥵

最初に蒸し風呂に入って身体を 慣らしていたのが正解でした。

此方の温泉は人気があるようで私以外に

7人程の人が朝早くに関わらず入浴 されていました。😸

入浴後に外で涼んでいたら

外国の若いお兄さんが大湯に 入っていきます。

浴衣を着ていたので渋温泉に来られた お客さんですね。😸

外国からのご旅行でしたら 遠路遥々お疲れ様です。

効能豊な渋温泉を エンジョイしてください。

have a nice trip😸

We stayed at Wakagiya in Shibu Onsen the day before.

I stopped by Oyu on the way back from my morning walk.

This outdoor bath has two bathtubs and a steam bath There is.

At first, I got sweat in the steam bath for about 5 minutes

When it comes out enough, on the entrance side I entered only the bathtub.

The water temperature is quite hot. 🥵

First take a steam bath and take your body The correct answer was to get used to it.

This hot spring seems to be popular, except for me

About 7 people take a bath regardless of early morning Was being done. 😸

If it's cool outside after bathing

Foreign younger brother in Oyu I will enter.

I wore a yukata so I came to Shibu Onsen It's a customer. 😸

If you are traveling from a foreign country Thank you very much for your hard work.

Shibu Onsen with abundant efficacy Please enjoy.
