Why go
- An open-air bath of its own spring facing a garden
- Day bathing at 1,000 yen, no reservation
- Yukata to rent for a stroll in the spa street
An open-air bath facing the garden, and day bathing
Surikamitei Ohtori takes an open-air bath facing a Japanese garden as its signature. The garden is visible from the lobby, and the trees and seasonal views come close from the bath. Day bathing needs no reservation and is taken from 11:00 to 14:00, which fits a visit after lunch in the spa street.
Rent a yukata and walk the spa street
Yukata in colours rent for 300 yen, so you can walk the spa street after the bath and take photographs as well. Iizaka has several communal baths within walking distance, making it easy to combine an outer-bath round with the inn's own bath. With a shuttle from the station, luggage is little trouble.
Before you go

Iizaka Onsen Sabako-yu
Twenty-five minutes by local train from Fukushima, the emblematic communal bath of Iizaka Onsen, where the poet Basho is said to have bathed. Rebuilt in 1993 as a faithful copy of one of Japan's oldest wooden bathhouses, its granite tub runs with free-flowing spring water above 45°C. Locals don't cool it with tap water; visitors get guidance. ¥400, from 6 am. No soap or shampoo. Start here for a crawl of the town's nine public baths.
Takayu Onsen Attaka-yu
Thirty minutes by car from Fukushima city, the communal bath of Takayu Onsen at 750 m on Mt. Azuma. Every bath is open-air, filled with milky-white sulfur water that is neither diluted nor heated. There's a timber men's bath, a rock women's bath and a reservable private rotenburo. A ¥500 gateway to a spa town that has kept its water free-flowing for 400 years. Closed Thursdays; one-hour limit. At the foot of the Bandai-Azuma Skyline — ideal with an autumn drive.
