Susono-Shinkou Onsen

194. Susono-Shinkou Onsen, Gotemba Super sento. Getting there is a long trip. When I arrived, there were lots of elderly people at the entrance and inside. Admission 850 + 150 for a small towel. Inside there was a dining area (seemed to be closed), a merch and food shop, a chill zone, massage chairs, and a private bath (didn't take it). There's apparently supposed to be a pool area too, but it wasn't operating either (though Google Maps has photos of it working). They stamp the Shizuoka 60 Onsen book. Bath temperatures seem to change by season. The bath sets apparently alternate male/female, and for the second set it's unclear whether Fuji is visible. I used the first set, which advertises a Fuji view. Couldn't check due to clouds, but I've included bath photos from the official website (can't fully confirm the outdoor bath matches, but I'm inclined to think it's roughly right; the indoor bath photo matches). Large indoor bath with clear water, noticeable chlorine smell. Temperature 40. Leads to the outdoor bath. There's also a sauna. Outdoor bath with partial roof. Clear water, also has a chlorine smell. Water temperature 39. Should have a Fuji view from this bath (there's even a photo hanging on the fence as proof for cloudy days). If you're nearby or doing onsen runs in the area, there'll be a Fuji view, and you need the right bath set — then worth visiting. But with all those conditions, the case looks too complicated.
