712. Ruri-no-yu, Oda Onsen, Kumamoto ★ An onsen with private baths. The base price is 3500 yen for one bath, but if staying at Oyado Kafugetsu, the price is 2500 yen. Operating hours are stated as 11:00 to 17:00 (except Tuesday and Wednesday). The private baths are located in small cottages with a tatami room, microwave, toilet, projector screen, refrigerator, and a small balcony. I rented two separate ones in different cottages: 1. Semi-open bath. View of trees and a clearing. The water is clear with a slight dark blue pale tint. Temperature is 42°C. 2. Semi-open bath. View of trees and a clearing. The water is clear with a slight dark blue pale tint. Temperature is 43°C. Worth keeping in mind when visiting Oda Onsen. It pairs well with staying at Oyado Kafugetsu if you leave your belongings at the ryokan before check-in time and go to Ruri-no-yu. 01.01.2026
