Gozanoyu
御座之湯
A wooden public bath on the west side of Yubatake, rebuilt in the Meiji-era style. Two kinds of spring water can be compared, and the second floor overlooks Yubatake.
Gozanoyu was rebuilt beside Yubatake and reopened in 2013. Its wooden architecture follows the style of Meiji-era public baths, and its name comes from a legend that Minamoto no Yoritomo bathed here. The building has two bathing areas, the "Ki-no-Yu" (wood bath) and the "Ishi-no-Yu" (stone bath). Men's and women's use alternates by day. The baths draw on two strongly acidic sulfur springs, the Yubatake spring and the Mandai spring, so you can compare their qualities. The second floor is a tatami rest room with windows facing Yubatake. Yukata rental is also available. Open roughly 7:00–21:00. Admission is about ¥700 for adults (confirm on site). Towels are not provided, so bring your own or buy one. It is on the west side of Yubatake and within walking distance, and it gets busy in the evening and at night.
Opening hours
Approx. 07:00–21:00
