Bathing Arrangements
Private bath available for day-use visitors or hotel guests to reserve
Informal, situational only — offered when the innkeeper has only filled one gendered bath (quiet weekdays), not a standing/bookable paid private-bath service. Corroborated by a separate Google review describing the same flexible 家族風呂 arrangement on quiet weekdays.
Shared bathing area for all genders
Visitor account implies separate men's/women's baths (女湯 named alongside an implied 男湯, only one filled that day) — ordinary gender-separated layout, not mixed bathing.

About
Takenoya is a small, old wooden ryokan on the Norikura Kogen hillside, run by an elderly couple. The single bath is lined in wood and split into separate sides for men and women, filled with a cloudy, milky white sulfur water that reviewers describe taking on a pale blue tint when sunlight hits it. There's no outdoor bath, but on quiet weekdays the owners have been known to fill just one side and offer it as a private soak. It's a worn, old-fashioned inn where guests say they're treated like visiting family.
