Ōkawara Onsen Kaikan Fukujusō

It was my first time using the facility. I visited before noon, but there were no other guests in the hall. Also, you pay the bathing fee directly at the reception. The bathroom had two tubs, and the one closest to the entrance was probably hot, but perhaps because there weren't many people there, both were piping hot. I turned the water on full blast and managed to submerge up to my shoulders (of course, I turned it off when I left). However, the water was constantly dripping, so I could feel the freshness of the water. Although the water was piping hot, I felt completely refreshed after getting out. It's located a little off the national highway, with nothing around (sorry), but it was a relaxing place. I'd like to visit again in the winter.

2021/5/16 2018/5/2 Day-use hot spring: 300 yen. I've visited numerous family baths throughout Aomori Prefecture, but this one is a rare private bath where you can enjoy the hot springs in a fairly large tub while receiving support for people with disabilities. The fee is 1000 yen and reservations are required. Besides the family bath, there is also a general bath, but I'll leave the report on that to others. My personal impression of the water is that it feels like thin needles are piercing my skin and body, but it's a tolerable heat and very comfortable. It's a strange sensation. Payment can be made in cash, but the small shop across the street (Takahashi Shoten) sells a booklet of 11 tickets for 3000 yen.

Most of the baths are used by locals. The water is so hot that it gushed out, and the moment I stepped into the bathroom, the soles of my feet started to sting. Of course, the bathtub is also hot. I recommend this to people who are used to hot water. It costs 300 yen, and there are no amenities or hair dryers, but it is a very clean and well-maintained facility.

As of April 2024: 300 yen It's an alkaline simple hot spring, but the water flows freely and it's a great bath! ♨️ Shampoo and other amenities are not provided, so please bring your own! I'm very satisfied with being able to soak in such a nice hot spring at such a low price! Family baths are by reservation only.

I visited on a Saturday around noon. There were two other customers there. There are two baths, both of which are quite hot. There are six washing areas. There is no sauna or open-air bath. It was only 300 yen, so I think it was good value for money. It felt great.
