Capabilities
Private bath available for day-use visitors or hotel guests to reserve
The Q&A page frames private-bath use more narrowly, as an accommodation for special needs: 「専用のお風呂はございませんが、小さなお子さんとの入浴、術後の入浴等ご希望があればお申し出ください」. The spa/facility pages instead describe a standing reservation system where either of the two indoor baths can be booked for private use, corroborated by reviews describing a sign-up (記名式), 30-minute reservation-slot system and a day-use reviewer paying the same price for a private bath. Kept the broader reservation-based description.
Private onsen bath in guest rooms, for overnight guests only

RiverAbout
Yamazakiya keeps two indoor baths, one for each sex, filled with natural onsen water that's kept flowing fresh rather than recirculated. There's no open-air bath, but either tub can be reserved for a private soak, and the water itself comes through clear with no strong smell. The inn is a small, 8-room wooden ryokan built in a traditional Japanese style, at Andai Onsen (安代温泉) in the Yudanaka-Shibu Onsen area, with rooms looking out over the Yokoyu River (横湯川) or a stone-paved side street. Meals lean on river fish and mountain vegetables, cooked simply and served in the room or the dining hall. It's a family operation through and through, and guests keep mentioning the same warm, unpretentious welcome. The Meiji-era Nihonga (日本画) painter Hashimoto Kansetsu (橋本関雪) is said to have stopped here late in life and left the inn a framed piece of calligraphy.
