Kurokawa Onsen Okunoyu
Three private family baths — two open-air, one indoors — free for up to an hour, key from the front desk. Sources disagree on whether the water is fully free-flowing, so we make no claim either way

Every room has its own indoor and open-air baths with free-flowing spring water, and the hilltop Tenku open-air bath can be reserved privately — free, 40 minutes at a time
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.
