Although I used it during the day, the view from the open-air bath was amazing. I was able to enjoy it privately by myself.

It is not suitable for people who feel like visiting a super public bath because if they come nearby, there will be a second visit.The open-air bath is also separate from the public bath and cannot be accessed without changing clothes and walking.I think the price is reasonable considering the location and location.I think there are only a handful of people in the world who notice the quality of the spring water, whether it's the best in Japan or the best in the world.It's just a tourist bath.There were no people around so I was able to take pictures even in the bathroom (lol)

I was looking for a hot spring that I could take a day trip to during Golden Week in 2024. While searching on Google Maps, I found Kenmi Onsen, which has been rated as having very good hot springs by word of mouth. The quality of the hot spring water was extremely good even though I tried to be modest! For me, this quality ranks in the top three.This place was located quite deep in the mountains, and a river was flowing under the cliff beside the road. The hot spring facility is located on a cliff, and you can see the river from above. The facility is a little old, but it has accommodations and a restaurant. I think the parking lot can park about 10 cars in the front and back, but I won't know for sure unless I ask for details.I found it in the changing room of a hot spring, and it seems like it would be a good idea to ask for salt-grilled Amego before entering the hot spring, and eat it when it comes out. I didn't notice it, so I'd like to try the salt-grilled Amego someday the next time I go.Although it is not a new facility by any means, it is very clean and the hot springs are really the best, so the scenery is nice and I definitely recommend it! I would like to stay here someday and enjoy it to the fullest.

I stopped by at noon and had some warm soba noodles. It has a mild taste and is very delicious. The soup stock is great! Including the hot springs, the total cost is 1000 yen. cheap!I would like to go rafting again in May.
