This is the onsen with the outdoor cave pool. It’s pretty cool to soak in a mock cave but I actually preferred the indoor pool and the jets.... plus the indoor pool is a degree or so hotter. Both pools are a decent size but the cave pool got a little busy whilst I was there. But all the same, a great option for a good relaxing onsen experience.
The indoor onsen is a lot hotter. So if you don't tolerate heat that much, you can just use the outdoor onsen
They allow foreignera and tattoos as well! You can buy a small towel, or rent a big one. Nice area to relax, vending machines with drinks and ice creams.
