Kuzuryū Onsen Heisei-no-Yu
九頭竜温泉 平成の湯（九頭竜保養の里）
A municipal spa retreat in the mountains at the eastern edge of Ōno, Fukui, close to Lake Kuzuryū. Ringed by the clear Kuzuryū River and forested hills, it offers colourless, soft alkaline simple spring water in an indoor bath and an open-air bath overlooking the valley through fresh greenery, autumn colours and deep snow (the outdoor bath may close on winter weekdays). There are a sauna, a tatami rest hall and a restaurant, and the site forms part of the Kuzuryū Hoyō-no-Sato complex with cottages and the Hotel Flairal Izumi next door. Adults from outside the city pay ¥800 (residents ¥700), children from age 3 ¥400 (¥350). Open 10:00–21:00, from 12:00 on Wednesdays; closed Tuesdays (next day if a holiday) and 1 January. About 17 minutes on foot from Echizen-Shimoyama Station on the JR Etsumi-Hoku Line, or right off the Kuzuryū IC on the Chūbu-Jūkan Expressway. An easy stop after the Kuzuryū roadside station, an autumn drive around the lake or a climb of Mt. Arashima.

Centpia Awara
A city-run day bath in front of Awara-Yunomachi Station, two stops from the Hokuriku shinkansen at Awaraonsen. 'Heaven' and 'Earth' bathrooms alternate weekly between men and women, each with rotenburo and sauna. Chloride water keeps you warm long after. ¥600 and open until 23:00 — a rare walk-in option in a town dominated by ryokan. Try the hot-spring eggs. No tattoos.
Tsuruga Kirameki Onsen Rila Port
Ten minutes by car from Tsuruga, the Hokuriku Shinkansen terminus, a municipal spa on a hill above Tsuruga Bay. Alongside the open-air and indoor baths and sauna there's a swimsuit 'Bade pool' of thermal water, so it's popular with families. Mild simple spring water; a Japanese restaurant and tatami hall for resting afterwards. ¥750 on weekdays, 10:00–22:00, closed Tuesdays — a handy first stop on a Hokuriku trip from Kansai or Nagoya.
Echizen Onsen Isaribi Open-Air Bath
A town-run day spa attached to the Echizen roadside station on the coast famous for Echizen crab. The open-air bath juts toward the Sea of Japan, facing sunsets over the horizon and, after dark, the squid-boat lanterns ('isaribi') that give it its name. Silky 'beauty water', an indoor bath and sauna for a wallet-friendly ¥520. Busy in winter with visitors pairing a soak with a crab lunch.
