Kaike Onsen Kasuitei
皆生温泉 華水亭
A leading ryokan of Kaike Onsen with its own spring, Housho-no-izumi. Hana-no-yu on the first floor pairs an indoor great bath with an open-air bath set around a garden, where the sound of the Sea of Japan and the salt air are close at hand. The water is a sodium-calcium chloride spring at pH 7.4 and runs flow-through. Day bathing is accepted 15:00 to 21:00 at 1,500 yen for adults and 750 yen for children aged 3 to elementary school. The window is well suited to an open-air soak at dusk with the sea in view.

- Spring water
- A sodium-calcium chloride spring at pH 7.4 drawn from the inn's own source, Housho-no-izumi. As befits a seaside spa, a trace of salt stays on the skin and the warmth lasts well after bathing.
- Baths
- Hana-no-yu on the first floor pairs an indoor great bath with an open-air bath set around a garden. From the garden side you hear the Sea of Japan and feel the salt air, and after dark the trees are lit. The baths are unavailable at times when they are reserved for private use, so it is worth checking.

- Day bathing
- Reception starts at 15:00 and the baths can be used until 21:00. Being an evening window, it suits soaking with the sunset and the night sea in view, and afterwards the seaside street is close for dinner. Reception can end early on busy days, so allow some slack.

- An open-air bath around a garden, facing the sea
- Day bathing 15:00–21:00 at 1,500 yen
Kaike's seaside spa strip
Kaike Onsen was built on reclaimed land, with inns lined up along the shore. In summer a bathing beach opens right in front, and in winter the seafood of the Sanin coast, such as snow crab and white squid, is the draw. It is a place where the sea and the spring can be enjoyed in one day.
The garden open-air bath after dark
The open-air bath is laid around a garden, so by day you look at the trees and stones and after dark you soak under lighting. The far side opens towards the sea, and the sound of the waves never quite stops. There is somewhere to sit and rest on the garden side after bathing too.
How day bathing works
Day bathing is accepted from 15:00 to 21:00 at 1,500 yen for adults and 750 yen for children aged 3 to elementary school. It can close during inspection periods, so a call before setting off is the safe move. The baths are also closed at times for private use, so arriving early in the evening gives more room.
Before you go
- No official tattoo policy is published — ask at reception.
- Ryokan day-use hours are limited and may be suspended in peak season — phone the same morning.
