Izutsuya
佳泉郷 井づつや
A large historic ryokan with underground and rooftop hot-spring baths
Day Use
YesThe inn closes for a few days at a time now and then for maintenance, so day-use bathing isn't guaranteed on every date.
Day-use bathing runs 11:00 to 14:30 for 1,500 yen per adult, but overnight and lunch guests get priority, so on a busy day the window can be shortened or day bathing turned away.

Highlights
GanbanyokuAbout
Izutsuya is a large ryokan in Yumura Onsen that has drawn on its own hot-spring source since it opened in 1702. Bathing splits across two floors: two basement baths, Yakushi-no-yu (やくしの湯) and Kannon-no-yu (かんのんの湯), each with its own outdoor bath, and Kannon-no-yu adds a separate herb-scented outdoor pool. The basement baths swap between men and women overnight. A rooftop floor holds a view bath built of cypress with no such swap, plus a bookable family bath and a bookable private outdoor bath. Eleven guest rooms come with their own onsen bath. There is also a heated stone room, Yusendo (癒泉洞), where guests lie on stones warmed by the spring's steam and natural amphibole stone, dressed in a yukata rather than bathing. The water itself runs clear and odorless, gentle on the skin. Locally the inn's bath is called Choju-no-yu (長寿の湯), the bath of longevity, one of Yumura Onsen's Seven Lucky Gods baths.
