About

Yoshinoike Onsen is a small, old-fashioned bathhouse in Fujiyoshida with just one indoor tub, big enough for four or five people at most, and no outdoor bath. The water is clear with a faint scent, and the changing room opens straight onto the tub room with no wall between them. Soap and shampoo are provided at the washing stations, and small towels are available to rent. The building started out in 1856 as a ryokan and was rebuilt around 1989 to 1990. Today it runs mainly as a day-use bathhouse, quiet enough that you can often have the tub to yourself. There's a small garden by the entrance, and the dining room next door serves Yoshida udon (吉田うどん), a local noodle dish. Reviewers consistently mention it's tattoo friendly, unusual for an old-school Japanese bathhouse.

161. Yoshinoike Onsen, Yamanashi A civilized, grandmother-run onsen. As I understood, they even have courses that include meals. Onsen was 750 + 270 for a towel. The building is a bit out of the way and looks like a residential house, but it's a quick walk from the nearest train station. They stamp the Yamanashi 100 Onsens booklet. Couldn't find a water composition chart. Inside there's one small bath. Breathing inside is comfortable, the atmosphere is pleasant too. Water is clear with fine mineral deposits, noticeable chlorine smell. Temperature hot-. There's one shower, and instead of body wash and shampoo - bar soap. Worth stopping by if you're nearby or passing through, otherwise can be skipped.
