Day Use
YesThe indoor bath is open around the clock except for a cleaning break from 8:00 to 9:30. The view rotenburo Hyakkeika (百景花) is open 6:00 to 18:00 and closes for the season roughly from late November to late April.
The day-use rate is the same whether you use the indoor bath or the view rotenburo Hyakkeika. The 11-room private-bath complex Onsen Doraku (温泉道楽) is booked separately at 3,500 yen for 40 minutes and isn't part of the walk-in day-use charge.

Boat BathAbout
Hotel SunBird sits right by the ski slope in Fujiwara, Minakami, and its main draw is eleven different private open-air baths, each done in its own style, including a boat-shaped ceramic tub made of Mino ware. A separate view rotenburo, Hyakkeika (百景花), sits on a rise looking out over the Tanigawa mountain range and a natural waterfall. The indoor bath runs around the clock and has jacuzzi and jet tubs alongside a proper washing area, and some guest rooms have their own hinoki open-air bath. Outside, a Finnish-style sauna garden lets you cool off under a real waterfall or in the stream beside it. The water throughout is natural onsen spring water. With a birch grove and seasonal flower fields on the grounds, it's a straightforward, family-friendly hotel built as much around its baths as its ski access.
