川湯薬師の湯
(かわゆくすしのゆ)
Open-air outdoor bath
Shared bathing area for all genders
610. Kawayu Yakushi no Yu, Kawayu Onsen, Wakayama ★★ Semi-wild onsen. Stated operating hours 05:00 to 22:00. No fee. Maintained through a collaboration of five hotels. Located on the opposite bank across a small bridge from the inhabited part of the village. There's a small roof, no changing room. I visited in the rain - nobody was there. Mixed bath, technically clothing required. There's a fence segment in the center of the bath. Left and right, views of the river and the other bank. Clear water, slight smell. 42 degrees. The fence is annoying, but the place is really cool. Recommended for a visit. 14.06.2025
