Saya No furo

Amazing onsen experience!
I went with a friend to check out this place and it was an awesome decision. It’s a bit hidden and kind of a walk from the closest metro station but it’s worth looking for!
When you arrive you put your shoes in little cubbies, and each person must have their own cubby. You don’t pay when you arrive, but they ask you if you need towels. Once you get through you can head on over to the changing rooms where you have to remove all your clothing and put them into lockers (which are free!) After a quick rinse you are free to use the pools!
There are two main pools outside as well as a pool where you can lay down and a couple of giant buckets that you can sit in! The water temperature was quite warm so it was nice that we went on a cool day. It’s definitely a relaxing experience to soak in the pools and just chill. There are also a number of pools inside, which is where the shower area is located.
Once you get over the idea of being naked in front of everyone onsen (hot springs) are legit. Don’t be shy!

Wonderful onsen with kakenagashi (continuous flow of fresh, not reused) hot spring water. It’s a bit out of the way and we went there by car. Really good water that will leave your skin feeling baby soft. It was nice to have a meal after our baths looking out into the beautiful Japanese garden. I’d love to go back again.
