Excellent local onsen! Entrance ¥100, if there is nobody at the small reception open the tiny window and put the money inside the box, the onsen stamp is there as well. Operating hours 06:30-11:30 and 15:00-23:00, no parking. You need to bring your own shampoos and towel. Leave your shoes outside. Very sweet and clean facilities, the changing area and the boxes where you put your stuff is just in front of the tub so you can see your stuff while bathing. Some of the locals just put their things on the small corner wooden table. If you wash yourself placed at the top of the tub be careful not to splash water at the mats and the changing place as it's going to be right next to you. Medium sized tub with space around it to wash, good water temperature, very friendly locals....
