Natural hot spring Onsens, Yu No Yama If you have tattoos on your body, you should try this place!! There is a private bath available for only 500yen!! So cheap!! It's a little old local bath place but feels like the nostalgic Showa era. The hot water is so thick containing a lot of minerals. タトゥーがある方でも個室をなんと500円で利用できます!! 少々古さはありますが、昭和を懐かしめます。お湯はトロトロです!
