A day trip to the hot springs is available for 2,500 yen, which is sold exclusively to Nyuto Onsen guests.Fortunately, there was no one in the mixed open-air bath and it was reserved for private use. The hot water is colorless and transparent. A hot spring with an open atmosphere. Towels and swimsuits are prohibited, so this poses a high hurdle for women.By the time you get to the changing room, you can get an idea of ​​the atmosphere inside, so if a man is there, make a U-turn, and if he comes while you're inside, go up while changing.The atmosphere is really nice, so I want you to try it. There is also an open-air bath for women only.It's divided into several baths, but unfortunately you have to change clothes in each one.

Traditional onsen. Different thermal baths. You have to control the time because some are only for women or men during certain hours. The best is the rotemburo (mixed open-air bath). Exceptional food and lovely staff. Perfect to take a break from your trip to Japan

Nyuto Onsen is the innermost one. The hotel staff are very kind. I found a hot spring hand shape that I had only used once and left it on the shuttle bus that night. They immediately contacted me and got it back the next morning. Thank you very much ~ The hotel has four kinds of hot springs. You can take a bath, and there is also a mixed-bath Karako-no-yu (only for women from 19:30-20:30). There is a dedicated open-air pool for women (only for men from 19:30-20:30 in the evening). The room is spacious and has no bathroom but a sink. There are mostly pickled foods for breakfast and dinner, and one night’s stay is 13,350 yen per person.

I took a day trip bath at Yumeguricho.There were two indoor baths (wooden bath and rock bath) and an open-air bath (mixed bathing and one for women), and the hot water was clear and colorless. I don't know because I don't have a mixed bath.The view from the women's open-air bath was beautiful. It was a fun time to enjoy the hot springs by myself, and I also talked about the hot springs with people who came later. I like the hot water, so I liked Kaniba Onsen as an open-air bath for women.

The hot spring had a mixed outdoor bath, but I didn't like it because I don't like insects. The Kiritanpo hotpot was delicious, but I wish it had a little more volume.
