668. Tsurunoyu Onsen, Minabe, Wakayama ★ Visited for higaeri for 600. Higaeri hours are 11:00-20:00. They stamp the Wakayama 88 Onsen book. They sell the Wakayama 12 Onsen stamp book. The outdoor and indoor baths are in separate locations. Outdoor bath with a view of trees, hills, and a small inner garden. Murky brown-green water, temperature around 42. Photos of the bath from the internet match. Indoor bath. View through a large somewhat dirty window to trees. Tiles with crane designs on the wall. Murky brown-green water, temperature around 43.5. Breathing inside is bearable. Pleasant place with rural vibes and interesting water, but inconvenient to get to. Worth a visit if you're nearby. 08.11.2025
