熊野川温泉さつき

I was traveling around the Kii Peninsula, sleeping in my car, and visited this place around 6 PM on Wednesday, April 22nd, 2026. I found it while searching for hot springs on Google Maps and just dropped in, but it was absolutely wonderful! …

You have to transfer here to get from Hongu to your accommodation in Xiaoguchi. You can also soak in the hot springs along the way, and cherry blossom petals drift into the open-air pool.

I was glad they had a reclining bath. It closes early on weekdays, but stays open until 9 PM on weekends and holidays.

Reasonably priced, the staff are really nice and it's tattoo friendly!! I got to relax peacefully in the baths.

Great rotenburo on the river, eagles soaring above. Spa in the main bath. Only 500yen. Highly recommended.
