Kanaya Onsen. Built in 1930. Women's + mixed baths, different temperature segments, very beautiful architecture.
211. Thousand-person Bath Kanaya Ryokan, Shimoda The legendary thousand-person ryokan, famous for its large mixed indoor bath. Higaeri listed from 9:00 to 21:00, costs 1200. They stamp the Shizuoka 60 Onsens rally book. Photos and videos of the baths from the internet match reality. The large indoor bath is mixed, with several levels inside. Water is clear, temperature is hot. It looks like the very same bath from old museum photos where a huge crowd of people sits in one bath. Breathing inside is good. There were quite a few people, but the only inconvenience was in the changing room. From the indoor bath there's a passage to a small outdoor bath with one utaseyu. Water is clear, temperature is hot. If the mixed bath format doesn't bother you, this is definitely a must-visit. The look and atmosphere of the indoor bath are really amazing.
