Kurobaneonsen Goho Hot Spring

Visited on Sunday, January 25, 2026 at 10:10 AM The parking lot is shared with the ball field and other facilities, so I don't think it's a problem. The shoe lockers are free, and the lockers in the changing room have a 100 yen return policy. I paid 500 yen at the reception and headed to the bath on the second floor. The changing room is spacious, but it seems like there aren't enough sinks and hair dryers for its size... The bath is quite large and can accommodate more than 30 people, and the open-air bath is also large enough to accommodate 20. However, the sauna only fills up with 3-4 people, so I think it's best to give up (lol). The bath's washing area has 12 seats. Maybe because it was Sunday, there were about 30 people bathing, and the washing area was full, even though it was right after opening. 💦 There seemed to be quite a lot of regulars, but they were quietly chatting, so it wasn't noisy. The water is a clear, colorless, alkaline simple spring, gentle on the skin, and very smooth and comfortable. I bathed for about 25 minutes, but I was sweating for about an hour. (It was a day when the outside temperature was 3°C.) There are many rest rooms, so you can really relax. There are also two massage machines available for a fee. Also, on the first floor, vegetables, locally grown sweets, and miscellaneous goods are sold, and they are quite cheap on vegetable days. It's a great hot spring facility, so I'd like to come back and relax on a weekday.

It is located on the grounds of Kurobane Sports Park, a short distance from National Route 294. There is a large parking lot available. The fee is 500 yen. Shampoos and other amenities are provided. The bathroom has a washing area, a bathtub, a sauna, and a cold bath. There is also an open-air bath. There are about 12-13 washing areas. The bathtub is large and can fit around 20-30 people. The water is colorless, transparent, and odorless. It has a very slippery feel. The open-air bath is like a rock bath and can fit around 10 people. The water is the same temperature as at home. It felt like it was around 41-42 degrees Celsius. It was crowded because of the time of day, but we were able to enjoy a bath.

The facility is beautiful and the water was nice and thick. The 500 yen entrance fee is paid at the register at the entrance, not via ticket, and you go up the stairs to the second floor, where the hot spring is on your right. If you use the elevator, the hot spring is on your left. We went first thing in the morning, so we were able to use the parking lot and the hall easily, but it was full by midday. The indoor bath is spacious, and there are care chairs (without backrests) in the washing area, so several people with leg disabilities were using them. The open-air bath is deep, so be careful with small children, and there is also a small sauna.

The quality of the spring is second to none! The water has a thick consistency that lasts even after you get out. The price is also cheap, as it's a public bath. Inside, there are free lockers for 100 yen and hair dryers. It's simple, with an open-air bath, sauna, and indoor bath. Body shampoo and conditioner shampoo are available at the washing area. It seems that the men's and women's baths switch daily. The restaurant in the rest area is open for long hours, and offers everything from set meals to ramen udon and soft-serve ice cream. The milk agar that comes with the set meals is delicious! (It's also sold separately.) I recommend it.

As expected, the alkaline simple hot spring water with a pH of 10.13 was very pleasant and smooth. It wasn't too hot, and there was an open-air bath, a large indoor bath, and a sauna. Body soap and shampoo were provided. After your bath, you could relax in the large hall watching TV (2 TVs), or have a meal. If you'd prefer a quieter meal, we recommend the restaurant right next to the large hall (order in the large hall). The photo shows a seasonal set meal, and the tempura was also great. You won't find this much volume for 1,200 yen at a municipal hot spring facility anywhere else. Oh, the gyoza served alone is a ❌, not recommended lol
