Overview
Large, elegant ryokan bath featuring a massive stone-carved outdoor pool.
Located in the shogi-playing capital of Japan, Taki-no-yu is a refined onsen facility that offers day-trip access to its expansive bathing areas. The highlight is the 'Sen-nin-buro,' a large stone-lined outdoor bath. The water is a simple alkaline spring, gentle on the skin and perfect for general relaxation. The facility is exceptionally well-maintained and provides a high-end experience without the high-end price tag for day visitors. It features multiple indoor pools and a dry sauna. Because it is a large hotel, it is very accustomed to international guests and is often more flexible regarding small tattoos compared to strict local community baths.
Local tips
Wash thoroughly at the shower stations before entering the bath. This is non-negotiable etiquette. Bring a small towel but keep it out of the water.
