My longest blog in ths trip so far
... than double of some other places (700¥). I've never been to an onzen, can't compare if this is worthed. Anyhow, I enjoyed it very much. It was seperated by men and women. I was a bit uneasy walking around with "nothing"; seeing everyone is doing the same thing, who cares. There is an outdoor pool and different pools indoor.
