About Kogome no Yu
Kogome no Yu is the easiest bath in town to walk into. It's run by the town, it's cheap, and it's a few minutes from Man'yō Park and the onsen streets, so it fits neatly after a walk or before dinner.
Men's and women's sides each have a large indoor bath and a rock-lined open-air bath under the trees. The water is a gentle, lightly salty spring that keeps you warm long after you get out. There's a free tatami rest room and a small café with a view over the rooftops.
The bath also runs a Fango House, an Italian-style mud treatment. The mud is aged for a month in Yugawara spring water, then a therapist spreads it warm over your joints after you've soaked. It takes about an hour, costs ¥7,000 plus tax plus entry, and you book at least two days ahead on 090-4384-1212.
From the station, take the Oku-Yugawara bus to Kōen-iriguchi (9 minutes) and walk three minutes. A taxi is about eight minutes.
