Day visit ·

Yes

15:00–18:00

Day-use bathing runs 15:00 to 18:00, with last entry at 17:30 and departure required by 19:00.

¥700

The price depends on gender, not age, and is charged per hour: ¥800 for men and ¥700 for women (free for children under 2 years old). An additional fee is charged for time beyond the first hour. The price difference is due to the presence of a sauna: men have one, women do not. A ¥100 discount is available when booking through LINE. Towel rental or bath towel rental is ¥200 each, and parking at the ryokan is ¥200 (free at the neighborhood shared parking lot).

TattoosWith ConditionsTattoos aren't allowed in the shared bath, but guests with tattoos can still bathe by booking the private bath.

About

Tofuya is built for barrier-free bathing: gentle slopes and handrails lead from the changing rooms into the water, and in the private bath a gentle, slide-like slope runs from the changing-room sofa into the tub. The men's bath has an outdoor rock bath plus a separate, cooler soaking pool, and a free mist sauna that cools down in that same spring water instead of a cold plunge. The women's bath pairs a deep, stepped outdoor pool with its own cooler corner. Reserve ahead and there are two more saunas built for two: a proper Finnish-style room with self-poured loyly and a cold tub refreshed for every booking, and a gentler full-body steam room, both open to mixed company since they're private. The water itself is soft, clear and gentle on the skin, a blend of a hot spring and a cooler one, and it's part of why Onogawa Onsen has long been called a beauty-skin spring. Tofuya is a family ryokan built around three generations bathing and staying together comfortably, and dinner runs to Yonezawa beef.
