Day-use bathing is booked by phone only, starting at 8am on the day itself; there's no advance reservation. Each bath closes for a weekly water-change maintenance day (mostly on weekdays), so the daytime session may be unavailable on some days. Last entry to the shared bath is 30 minutes before closing.

¥1,300

The adult price above is for the shared bath (900 yen for elementary-age children, 400 yen for preschoolers, infants free).

Towel rental is 300 yen a set. Cash or PayPay only, no credit cards.

About

Every guest room at Zekuu has its own half-open-air onsen bath facing the sea. Downstairs are two shared baths, swapped between men and women on a rotation: Naminone-no-yu (波音の湯), with ceramic tubs styled to look like wood and a wide sea view, and Iwaoto-no-yu (岩音の湯), with stone tubs echoing the rocks outside, lit up after dark. Two more baths are rented out by the time slot for extra privacy, Suiten-no-yu (水天の湯), which has a sauna and a cold plunge, and Ippeki-no-yu (一碧の湯), a two-depth tub for lying back in the water. The spring water carries a light sulfur note and a touch of salt. Walk-in day-use bathing is open too, in the shared baths or, by reservation, in either private bath. The hotel is built into the cliff above Futomi's rocky shore in Kamogawa, a stretch of coast that has long drawn Japanese painters.

There are 2 kashikiri rooms and a public bath. The private rooms with rotenburo are rented out for two hours for walk-in guests. We didn't go to the public baths (day use is available there too), but the private rotenburo for two hours was beautiful, pleasant, and worth the money. Besides the entrance and shower room with a toilet, it includes a rest room and the rotenburo itself, connected by a passageway. The rest room also has an ocean view and is open air. At the entrance you can grab blankets and quilts if you want. View 10/10, nearly infinity. (Photos incoming). This is a matter of taste, but I prefer a view from the onsen onto a lake/sea/ocean rather than a forest, for example. Bath convenience: 10/10. The tub is spacious enough for two, allows full immersion with legs stretched out, you can rest your head on a cushion, there are different levels to sit on if you want to cool down. Amenities: everything you need for washing and skincare is provided, towel rental 300 yen. Water: sulfur-containing, sodium bicarbonate, cold mineral spring (Nagisa no Yu, Kamogawa Onsen). Price: day use public area 1300 yen. Private rooms 2000-2500 yen/hour per person. Day use guests get 2-hour slots. Notes: - Besides booking the private room, it's recommended to call and reserve for the public area too. - Cash or PayPay only.
