Akishima Onsen Yuranosato

Everything was great but if you are not familiar with onsen culture in Japan you might feel very lost. No staff can really speak english. And all the signs are only in japanese. Only english is when you buy the admission ticket, the machine has english on it but that is it. If you can read and speak a bit, you are in for a treat. The outdoor bath is exactly like the picture. The food was good too. You can get a admission+meal+drink package. They have shampoo, conditioner, body wash but also gotta guess cuz it only says in japanese. Hair dryer, q-tips are provided. Towels you can rent it for a price. Everything is cash yen only. Bring 100 yen coins for the 2 lockers(shoes / clothes and stuff). You can get it back when you are done using.

First time trying an onsen (although I guess this is considered a "super public bath"). If you're a Westerner, it's a little weird at first, but everyone is doing it so it's not that big of a deal. I don't know about any "skin healing minerals" or anything like that, I mostly went here for a "hot tub", which it succeeded in acting as one. I didn't really make use of any other facilities here. I don't have many other references to go off of, but the one issue I had with this place is: while I was using the changing room, a woman (a worker there) came in to do some cleaning while there were a bunch of guys (some naked) still in there. That didn't seem right.

It’s my 1st time to visit this place today. So grateful that there’s such a beautiful onsen nearby my dwelling place where we have just moved in a month ago. Not familiar with this city yet and I’m thrilled to visit more of like this which is very Japanese 🥰and very convenient to go because the bus stops are in front of the onsen 🚌♨️ …

Nice onsen with multiple indoor pools, sauna, steam room and outdoor pools as well. Went there twice in a week, around 11am. The place was relatively busy mostly with older seniors but not so packed that it was shoulder to shoulder in the pools. A bit far from the Akishima train station (1.7km) so it was about a 18-20min walk.

Remember to tie your hair when going into the tubs. I got called out by another customer because I forgot to. They have a good variation of tubs including outdoor ones. They have vending machines with coffee milk and pineapple milk. They sell souvenirs and snacks by the entrance as well.
