Bathing Arrangements
Private bath available for day-use visitors or hotel guests to reserve
Private bath 'Bi-doro-no-yu', barrier-free, 3-4 people, ¥3,300/50min, first-come booking at check-in (no advance reservation). NOT available to bathing-only day-use guests: 「日帰り入浴での貸切風呂のご利用は承っておりません」.

Only the 5F Premium Floor rooms (Tokubetsu-shitsu, Wayo-shitsu, Yo-shitsu) have their own onsen rotenburo. A separate 4F room type ('露天風呂付和洋室') has a private rotenburo that the site explicitly says is NOT onsen water: 「本客室の露天風呂は温泉ではございません」.
Shared bathing area for all genders
Baths are strictly gender-separated with a daily time-swap rotation between the two bath pairs; no mixed bathing offered.
