Day Use
YesDay-use bathing days are irregular, so call ahead to confirm.
Some booking sites list day-use pricing (700 yen adult, 500 yen child), but the inn's own FAQ says day bathing is only for holders of the Kusatsu Onsen Yumeguri Tegata (湯めぐり手形) pass, so confirm before visiting.

About
There's no shared bath here, only three private ones you use whenever one is free: an all-cypress tub, a Shigaraki ceramic bath, and a stone-lined bath where the spring water runs over stacked rock. They replaced the inn's old communal bath in a 2022 renovation. The water comes straight from Kusatsu's Bandaiko (万代鉱) source, kept flowing rather than recirculated. It's hot enough at the tap that it needs a moment to settle, and rich enough that mineral flakes float visibly on the surface. Hinoki Tei Bokusui is a small, old-fashioned ryokan with tatami corridors and a quiet, nostalgic feel, more like staying at a grandparent's house than a hotel. Dinner is served in a private room rather than a shared dining hall, and with few guests staying at once, one of the three baths is almost always free.
