Takeo Onsen Romon

We were here to visit this well known place, at the right of the kind of museum there is a private onsen, which is a little more expansive than the public one, but the private one is tattoo friendly. Very clean, cosy and hot water. We feeling now like feathers. So if you want to relax and enjoy an onsen experience (and be respectful if you're tattooed), go to this wonderful place.

The hot spring is very small and is much like an old fashioned shared big hot tub with everyone naked. One hot spring bath costs only ¥500. Towels rental costs extra ¥300. You can stay as late as midnight if you want. Woman and man use separate ponds. One extra benefit is free WiFi. Hence it is a good stop for tourists.

Visited at night during winter. If you want to try other baths, come earlier before 21:00. After that, the Motoyu will be the only bath that will be open. Even with one type of bath open, if you’re visiting Takeo-onsen or Saga, this is a must-feel experience!

Historic grand entrance gate that stands out with its impressive architecture. It serves as the entrance to the public bath of Takeo Onsen, inviting visitors to step back in time and appreciate the historic ambiance.

Interesting little museum and some nice relaxing onsen. Effectively had the place to myself given the time of day, very relaxing.
