Higaeri Onsen Furusato

Higaeri Onsen Furusato is a small day-use bath in the Kutsukake hot spring area, with separate men's and women's baths of one tub each, fed by a mix of three local Kutsukake springs. The water runs mild and gentle, nuruyu-style, good for a long soak, and the indoor bath, set in the building's lower level, looks out toward the surrounding mountains. Washing stations are basic but stocked with shampoo and body soap. The owner runs the place informally around farm work, so the shop can look closed, curtains drawn, even when it's open, a knock or a call through the intercom often gets you in, though not every time. Kids are welcome, and reviews mention they're free to be as loud as they like.
