How it works
The operator lists Kin no Yu on kinsen water, a high-temperature strong sodium chloride spring with iron that turns brown in air. Its two baths (Ichi no Yu and Ni no Yu) are free-flowing, with water added to cool it and chlorine during opening hours. A free footbath sits next door. Open 8am-10pm (last entry 9:30pm), closed on the second and fourth Tuesday (open on holidays, closed the next day) and on January 1. Entry may be capped when busy.
Walk-in ticket at the public bath counter.
