Sagano Onsen Tenzan-no-yu

Four minutes from Arisugawa Station on the Randen tram near Arashiyama, a day spa in Kyoto-style timber architecture. Chloride water from 1,200 m below fills rock rotenburo, pot baths and a spacious indoor pool; the men's side has a 'theater' sauna, the women's two saunas. Open until midnight, so it works after a day in Arashiyama. Restaurant on site. ¥1,200 weekdays; closed the third Monday.

Amanohashidate Onsen Chie-no-yu

The only public bath in Miyazu, right next to Amanohashidate Station on the Kyoto Tango Railway — the gateway to one of Japan's Three Views. Named after the Monju bodhisattva of wisdom, it looks like a small ryokan. Magnesium-rich chloride water fills an indoor bath and hand-and-foot bath, with a free footbath outside. ¥800, 12:00–21:00. Perfect for a rinse while waiting for your train after walking the sandbar.
