SNOW CRYSTAL YOGA & WELLNESS by LIVE THE SEASONs
Yoga studio
👍👍 Beautiful early morning session. Hiromi (the yoga instructor) led our family through an outdoor session next to the Nozawa temples. Hiromi corrected our poses throughout the session which was helpful.
If you have the option of doing the yoga outside, defintiley say yes. Couldn't of asked for a bett...

Nozawaonsen Sotoyu Shinyu Hot Spring
Onsen
👍👍 Among the many free baths in Nozawa Onsen, this hot spring has the highest reputation. I also thought this was the best.
Most of the hot water at Nozawa Onsen is almost transparent, but this is the only one where the water is always cloudy with a bluish tinge. The turbidity and sulfur scent are the...

Kumanotearayu Hot Spring
Onsen
👍👍 Probably the newest/cleanest of the free onsens in town. Onsen temp was more bearable/less scalding hot than others so that was a big plus for me. Going late is even better since you (mostly) get the place to yourself. (stayed there past 'closing time' and there were people coming in)

Nozawaonsen Sotoyu Takinoyu Hot Spring
Onsen
👍👍 Beautiful emerald green ♡♡
Characteristic is the rare black Yuka ♨️
As soon as you take a bath, a large amount of Yuka floats up in the air.
A local grandmother who often comes here used her skillful hands to scoop up the hot water with a net and adjust the temperature with water to make it easier...

Nakao-no-yu
Onsen
👍 Free public onsen. Water is pretty hot, be prepared! There are basins to wash yourself either with the cold tap (!) or you can get hot water from the bath to wash yourself with before getting in. Bring your own soap to clean yourself before getting in the bath, per proper onsen etiquette

Furusato-no-yu
Day spa
👍👍 I came here twice during my long weekend in Nozawa and at just 500 yen for admission it’s a great deal. Unlike the free public onsen in Nozawa which are scalding hot, the waters here are a more normal onsen temperature. There are shower stalls with soap and shampoo provided and hairdryers in the ch...

Ōyu Hot Spring
Onsen
👍👍 One of my most memorable onsen experiences!! (Not because the water was scorching hot! 🤣) I didn’t see any tourists during the time I was there, just a lot of local grandmas who gave me excellent tips on how to get in the water!!
There are two tubs, one is “warm” water and the other being “hot.” I...

Jyuodo-no-yu

👍👍 Everyone is described in detail in the hot spring itself, so first let's talk about the locals.
I used about five public baths during my stay, and they were all very well maintained and I could feel the love of the locals.
Also, is the hot water too hot for us tourists to use? Shall I add more wat...

Shinden-no-yu

👍 Extremely hot onsen. Free to use. They have cubbies and some small lockers. No toilet to use. It was too hot to actually sit inside but it was clean and a nice atmosphere.

Akiha-no-Yu
Public bath
👍👍 You can take a bath until midnight, but the lights are forcibly turned off at 11:40 p.m., so you'll be bathing in the dark for the rest of the time. Still, I was grateful that I could stay until late, and the temperature was just right, which relieved my fatigue.

Asagama-no-yu Hot Spring

👍👍 The 13 public baths dotted around Nozawa Onsen Town are the common property of the villagers. The public baths have been protected since the Edo period by the Yu-Nakama system, and are 100% natural hot springs. The hot springs are well managed and always clean. Both the villagers who use it every da...

The bath is small with hot water drawn from a hemp pot.
It was clean because it had just been cleaned.

Matsuba-no-yu
Onsen
👍 This is my favorite bath among the 13 hot springs at Nozawa Onsen.
I went up to the second floor and found myself in a slightly larger bathtub and the hydrogen sulfide smell, and the edge of the bathtub was just the right size to cool off.
It's also nice that there aren't many tourists.
I am always...

♨️I wonder if it's called Yunohana? It's a hot spring filled with ingredients that look like black garbage (excuse me) floating in it⁉️The scent of sulfur is weak, and the color is a bit whitish! ️
I went in before 5 o'clock with some people who seemed to be locals,...

天照石温熱浴 みゆき野癒
Hot bedstone spa
😐 地元ではピンクの看板と建物で目立つ施設です。デトックス岩盤浴と食堂も同じ敷地内にあり、入浴とのセット券などもあるようです。
お風呂は温泉ではなく循環濾過されたお湯になります。床や浴槽に天照石が埋め込まれたタイルを使用しており、歩くと少し痛いくらいの足ツボ刺激効果も。
お湯は適温～やや温め、露天風呂から...

The indoor changing room's anti-slip rubber mat, though effective, can be a bit uncomfortable barefooted.
Visiting on a weekday was a win – almost empty pools made it especially enjoyable for the kids.

Akatsuki no Yu
Day spa
😠 What is wrong with that ojisan in the front? He is very not happy that I used coupon as my tour package attach a coupon like 100 yen reduce. He warned me that you have to get out 40min even though there is 1hour 20 min before closure. There is no other onsen option you just have to endure it.

You can use the tour ticket to enter the bath for 500 yen.
The lady at the entrance waited for me even though I was confused to issue a ticket while there was a line of people behind me, so I don't think she was that bad.
The atmosphere of the hot spring has the feel...
