Morinoyu

- Bathing fee is NT$490 (excluding sauna). Please bring your own towel and toiletries. The grandma and grandpa at the payment counter are very friendly. - The layout is unique! The first floor has shoe cabinets and parking, and the second floor has the lobby, counter, and bathing area. - They sell their own merchandise: stickers, backpacks, clothes, and towels! They're all quite cute! - The interior tiles are mainly white, with gray marble handrails. The pools have light blue circular tiles, and some even have goldfish designs at the bottom! - There are two hot tubs, one with a massage jet and electric bath (the massage jet has just the right pressure, with many positions to massage different areas; there's a large poster showing how to massage different areas, which is great!), one warm carbonated bath, one water bath, and a foot massage bath with lots of pebbles (very unique!). - The shelves above the bathing area are a nice touch!! - I love that the lobby has many relaxation spaces and some books and comics! There are sliding doors and curtains between the lobby and the bathrooms, which makes me feel very safe!

I visited this "ofuro" (bath house) last year when I visited Himeji Castle. If you enjoy the experience of an authentic Japanese bath house that offers genuine Japanese hospitality, this is a must visit!! The place is very clean and the owners are extremely friendly and helpful towards gaijin (foreigners), especially if this is your first time visit to a public bath house. They will do their utmost best to explain the rules of the bath house, so you feel comfortable and welcome. They are also one of the few remaining bath houses that do not discriminate against people with tattoos. If you are lucky, you might even share a bath with some guys with full body irezumi, like I did. It was a very relaxing experience and I will most definitely come visit them again the next time I find myself in beautiful Himeji. Highly recommended!!

It’s a very nice public bath. The owners are very kind, and the facilities are clean and well-maintained. The sauna has room for 4-6 people easily, and there are four different temperature baths. The baths do not provide shampoo, conditioner, or soap inside. They sell individual packets of soap and shampoo at the desk for a reasonable fee, as well as bathing supplies and face masks. I love this place and come here often. The regular customers are also wonderful.

Very nice local onsen just a few minutes walk from himeji station! It is run by an elderly friendly couple and people with tattoos are welcome. I enjoyed the hot sauna, the ice cold pool and the half a dozen baths. It was not too crowded and the local crowd was friendly. Great place to relax after a busy day of traveling around Japan!

I had a great experience here. The gentleman at the front desk was very patient with me (being a foreigner), used Google translate to communicate and even locked up my luggage while I used the baths. The women’s bath was very clean and hygienic. I found the atmosphere relaxing and the locals were very friendly too.
