Ikaho Onsen

Ikaho Onsen Ishidan-no-Yu

A storehouse-style communal bath halfway up the 365-step stone stairway. Iron-rich brown 'golden water' in indoor tubs; rest hall upstairs. Cashless payment accepted.

Ikaho Open-air Bath

A public open-air bath built right at Ikaho's spring source, above the stone-step street and Kajika Bridge. Nothing but bamboo-fenced outdoor pools where the rusty-brown 'golden water' flows straight from the source. Pair it with the bridge in autumn.
