Otowaya Ryokan
Two reservable baths filled with 100% source water — Garaku no Yu is ¥2,200 for 50 minutes. The inn discloses that it combines some circulation to keep the temperature steady.

Echigo-Yuzawa Onsen 越後湯沢温泉 — Niigata
In-room bath + reservable private bath
Three free reservable baths on the top floor. Thirty of the 86 rooms also have an open-air bath with natural onsen drawn in — but not every open-air-bath room is onsen (the Hanamizuki room is not, and rooms' indoor baths are not onsen), so check the room type name when booking.
You get both kinds of private here — a bath of your own, and reservable ones for the long soak. Most guests use both before checkout. You probably will too.



Private-bath and water facts were checked against the property's official site and Japanese booking pages in November 2026. Room plans change — confirm the private bath is included in the plan you book.
