745. Takanokono Hot Spring, Matsuyama A super sento with onsen water. The price is ¥800 on weekdays and ¥850 on weekends (¥600 from 05:00 to 10:00 and ¥650 after 21:00). The stated hours are 05:00 to 01:00. There is a restaurant, a shop, massage, and rest areas. Toreco cards are issued for the onsen. I could not find suitable photos of the baths online, and on the official site they are very small and plain. 1. Indoor area. Breathing inside is fine, but there is a strong chlorine smell. It is not really noticeable from the water, only in the building. 1.1. A walk-through deep bath with clear water, temperature 37.5. 1.2. Main oval bath. The water is clear, temperature 41.5. 1.3. Small bath with clear water, temperature 37.5. 1.4. Semi-open tent sauna. 1.5. Two electric baths. 2. Passage. 2.1. Sauna. 2.2. Cold bath. 3. Outdoor area. No view. 3.1. Wooden egg-shaped sauna, open until 20:00. 3.2. Rectangular bath with clear water. Temperature 43. 07.01.2026
