Adult admission is ¥600 which is purchased at a vending machine. Parking is free as long as you bring your parking ticket with you to the counter. When you first walk in you'll have to take off your shoes then place them in a shoe locker. You also need ¥100 for them which is refundable. Then you will go to the vending machine and purchase your admission ticket. You will hold onto your locker key for your shoes but had in your admission ticket. Then proceed The men's changing room or ladies changing room. There are lockers in the change room and you will need ¥100 to use them which are refundable. You will need to bring a towel. No tattoos are allowed but if you're able to conceal your tattoo then you should be fine. There are many hot baths and there is one really cold bath. There are several outdoor baths too. Make sure you shower your body first before you take a bath. In the lounge there are many vending machines and there is a restaurant.

This is a very good onsen with natural spring waters overlooking the Akashi bridge. While the location is nice, note that the view from the women’s bath is partially obscured by a privacy fence. As other reviewers have noted, the locker rooms get pretty crowded on the weekends. If you come on weeknights there is usually no problem. The restaurant has decent food and there are also massage services. Located an easy walk from JR Asagiri station (just cross the pedestrian overpass to the beach) or about a 10 minute walk from Sanyo Okuradani station.

I had an awesome onsen experience here! The staff were very accommodating. At first I was having a hard time communicating with them since they spoke little to no English. The good thing is they have prepared written instructions for English speakers. The view from the onsen is what makes it amazing. You can sit and relax while enjoying the view of the Akashi Kaikyo bridge.

While it doesn't offer so.ethi g really special, the atmosphere is good and I felt comfortable with what's offered. The water is hot as it should be. In one of the bathtubs they have variing natural additives like tea or herbs. The restaurant offers quite good katsudon for a reasonable price.

This spa is most reasonable price around Akashi area but always busy especially in the locker room. Here is amazing ocean view from open-air bath. u should visit there once.
