折戸温泉

This hot spring is located along Prefectural Route 27. It's open from 10:00 AM. There's a parking lot in front, but no white lines. The fee is 300 yen, which you hand over to the old man, but if he's not home, there's a fee box. There are no amenities, but there is a hair dryer and electric fan. The bath is large enough for three people, and you can stretch your legs out. The 100% natural hot spring water is a little warm with a slight green tint, and I felt warm for a while after getting out, so I think it warmed me to the core. There were two cats at the entrance, and regulars were playing with their toys. There were few cars, so it was quiet and relaxing.

A hidden hot spring nestled in the mountains. Admission fee: 300 yen. There's usually a staff member at the reception, but perhaps because it was lunchtime, there was no one there, so I put the fee in a wooden box. If there's no staff, or if you don't have small change, you'll have to ask the Tsuki no Hotaru shop nearby to exchange money for you. There are absolutely no amenities, so you need to bring your own. A hairdryer is available. In winter, the water feels a little lukewarm, but it's very good for long soaks.

I went to Orido Onsen hoping to bathe in a hot spring where I could have it all to myself, without anyone around. I was lucky to find that there was no one there when I got there. By the way, the entrance fee is 300 yen, and although it faces the road, I was able to bathe alone with the windows wide open without anyone around. I enjoyed a luxurious moment. Personally, I like the quality of the hot springs in Yabakei, and it's nice that they're affordable and not hustling.

A cozy hot spring nestled deep in the mountains. I parked in front of the hot spring, and a cat came out! He was so chatty and meowing! ◎ The hot spring wasn't too hot, so I wanted to stay in it forever. There was no shampoo or body wash, so I brought my own. It was nice to have a hair dryer. On the way back, I couldn't find the cat, so I checked the hood of my car just to be sure. Buses run infrequently, so I recommend taking your own car.

You will be out of range. It costs 200 yen to pay in the tray at reception and bathe. The baths are separated for men and women. No lockers or soap. Please put money in the tray at reception or when you are sleeping. The water is good. If the bath is smoky, please adjust it yourself. There is a money trap so it seems you cannot drink the hot spring water. Opening the window gives you a sense of openness.
