Gekkoju Kurokawa
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

All eight detached rooms have their own dedicated spring bath, each built differently, fed by free-flowing natural spring water (verified from Ikkyu, Jalan and Yahoo property data — the inn has no official site)
And the bath? It's in your room. Not down a corridor, not on a sign-up sheet. Run it before dinner. Run it again at midnight. Wake up and get straight back in — nobody's timetable touches you here.



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.

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
Each of the five detached villas has its own natural hot-spring bathroom and private sauna, usable around the clock. The official page mentions free-flowing spring water only in passing, so we don't promise it
