Daitokan

239. Daitokan, Ito Visited for higaeri at 1100 with towels (listed hours 14:00–22:00). They stamp the 60 Onsen of Shizuoka 24/25 booklet. Located in the building next to the well-known Yokikan from the travel chat. Higaeri gives access to the public bath (which rotates M/F) and three private baths on a first-come-first-served basis. I managed to visit two private and the public bath (no rotenburo). All three baths had the same water composition on their placards. 1. Private outdoor bath. Located separately — you need to leave the hotel building itself (there are even special rubber slippers provided for this). Very cozy in the evening. Clear water, temperature 39. 2. The passage to the indoor public and private baths goes through a cave, which adds great atmosphere. The indoor bath consists of two sections: the left one at 38.5, the right at 41. Clear water, comfortable to breathe inside. 3. Private Goemon bath with hellish cauldrons. Super cool, atmospheric, and powerful. Especially after walking through another cave segment inside the ryokan. Clear water in the cauldrons, one at 41.5, the other at 43.5. A bit stuffy inside. An excellent place for higaeri — long time slot and amazing private baths. Haven't been to the second public onsen yet — it's listed as having a rotenburo. If staying at Yokikan — the perfect combo would be to do higaeri at this ryokan and expand your onsen experience.
