Four Free Private Baths and the Bath Crawl

• ♨️Four private baths — Usagi no Dance, Bara-iro no Jinsei, Shonen Jidai and Only-yu — are free to use whenever they are vacant.
• 🛁Only-yu in the annex is a single-person bath with free-flowing spring water, Shonen Jidai has a tatami-floored washing area, and one bath turns into a rubber-duck bath at night.
• 🎫The water is a simple spring and sodium-calcium chloride spring; in-house bathing runs 15:00–24:00 and 6:00–9:00, and a free pass covers the town's public baths.
