Public bath No.9 O-yu

Public bath No.9 O-yu, Shibu onsen 9th and last onsen of Shibu. The most developed of the nine — the changing room is even quite warm in winter. The bath is divided into two sections, the water is cloudy. I went first thing in the morning and the water was nuclear hot — I had to dilute it with cold water for about 10 minutes to actually get into the first section. The second section behind the partition remained brutally hot. Among the Shibu onsens — recommended. It's a bit more modern than the rest, has more space, and there's a temperature challenge. Yet it still retains the old-school feel.
