Located at the entrance to the hot spring town of Dake Onsen the public bathhouse "Dake no Yu" has a reception desk (bandai) with a Showa-era feel as soon as you enter.

It looks a little old and cluttered, but it's well-cleaned and has a nice feel to it. The bath is down the stairs further ahead.

The trail goes down quite a distance. The discoloration on the floor tells us that many people have visited

On this day, we were able to take photos in a private location, but of course, you should exercise discretion during normal times.

You can use coin lockers to store your valuables, or leave them at the reception desk. Leaving your belongings with the reception desk staff is a touching example of Showa-era charm

It's really nice that every corner is thoroughly cleaned

The bathtub is small, but the slightly cloudy water sparkles with mineral deposits and is a free-flowing overflow.

It was a little hot, but the receptionist said, "If it's too hot, turn on the water while you bathe," so I went ahead and turned on the water while I bathed.The window was also open, so a pleasant breeze blew through, and I was able to enjoy the bath without getting too hot

Although the facility is a little old, it is equipped with showers and towels and shampoo sets are sold at the reception, so recommended for dropping in for a quick bath .

By the way, after bathing, my skin didn't feel tight at all! It was so refreshing that I didn't feel the need to moisturize, and it was definitely a hot spring I'd like to visit again

You can stay overnight as a therapeutic hot spring , and long-term stays are also possible, so it might be a good place for a work vacation
