Day-use bathing also runs on public holidays, not just weekends. Last entry is 15:00, half an hour before closing.

Adults 1,500 yen, children 750 yen in the main season (roughly March, and May through October); adults 1,000 yen, children 500 yen in winter (December through February). One preschool-age child bathes free per accompanying adult. April and November rates were still to be confirmed at last check.

Bathing & Water

Outdoor BathYes

Open-air outdoor bath

Infinity-style outdoor bath overlooking Mt Yoshino, opened Nov 2020.

Indoor BathYes

Enclosed indoor bathing area

SaunaNo

Dry heat sauna room

Corroborated independently by tabiiro.jp (no sauna listed). One generic aggregator listing (yuru-to.net) claims a sauna is present, but that listing's other claims (on-site parking, restaurant) conflict with stronger sources, so it was discounted.

OnsenNo

Uses natural hot spring water

Capabilities

Private BathNo

Private bath available for day-use visitors or hotel guests to reserve

Corroborated by tabiiro.jp (no family/kashikiri bath).

Room OnsenYes

Private onsen bath in guest rooms, for overnight guests only

2020-built suites 金木犀の間 and 山桜の間 have their own private open-air (Shigaraki-pottery) tub on the terrace, per tabiiro.jp and rurubu.travel. Marked medium confidence because the facility's overall bath water is an artificial radium-style bath rather than a natural spring (ONSEN_WATER=NO already on file) - the site itself still brands the water 人工ラジウム温泉.

Mixed BathingNo

Shared bathing area for all genders

About

An old wooden ryokan on Mt Yoshino, the mountain Nara is known for its cherry blossoms. The bath here is split by gender: an indoor bath and a small infinity-edge open-air bath, added in 2020, that looks out over the mountainside (in season, the blossoms are right there from the water). The water itself isn't a natural hot spring, it's an artificial bath styled after a radium spring. Breakfast and dinner are included, and the kitchen leans on local Yoshino ingredients like kuzu, including a house hot pot called Saigyo-nabe (西行鍋).
