Matsuba Onsen Taki-no-yu

638. Matsuba Onsen Taki-no-yu, Kaizuka, Osaka ★ A ryokan 20 minutes by car or 50 minutes by public transport from Kansai Airport (KIX). Visited for day use at 720 yen. Day use available from 09:00 to 21:00. They stamp the 88 Onsen of Wakayama stamp book. Bath photos from the internet match. 1. Outdoor zone. Close-up view of trees with a road behind them (you can occasionally glimpse cars through the trees, but it's not bothersome and the natural view stays intact). There's a lattice fence that does detract from the view, but not dramatically. 1.1. Small bath with clear water, temperature 42. 1.2. Large bath with clear water, temperature 38. Strong water circulation and a smooth bottom — you have to get used to lying in it so your body relaxes without sliding around. 2. Inside, a room with a high ceiling and wooden beams. Bath with clear water, temperature 41. The drains were running noisily during my visit, but it was still quite cozy. Breathing inside is good. A solid place worth keeping in mind for day use if you're passing by, or as a ryokan conveniently located near the airport. 03.11.2025
