Kaga Katayamazu City Spa
Straightforward, communal bathhouse with lake views & a modern cafe, plus toiletries for a fee.
I visited on the evening of April 28, 2026. The chlorine concentration was too high, making it unpleasant. The building itself lacked the charm expected of a public bathhouse in a famous hot spring resort area, which was disappointing. …
This was my first visit. I had heard that the men's and women's bathrooms alternated daily, so I checked beforehand to see if there was a view of the lakeside before going. …
You can relax in the hot springs while enjoying the view of Lake Shibayama. The entrance fee is 500 yen for adults.
I came across it while strolling around Katayamazu Onsen. It seemed like it was being used by locals.
I went to buy some onsen tamago (hot spring eggs)!
