Shiobara, Nasushiobara, Tochigi Prefecture
Saika-no-Yu, Mikaeri-no-Sato
A balanced stop for a low-cost bath with better scenery than a standard indoor sento, especially during an autumn-leaf, suspension-bridge or Route 400 drive.
Check before bathing
- Opening hours
- The facility asks visitors to check its operating calendar for daily hours and closures. A local tourism page lists 10:00–22:00 and closure on the third Wednesday, but the facility calendar takes precedence.

Bathing indications
The facility lists general bathing indications including neuralgia, muscle and joint pain, frozen shoulder, sensitivity to cold, bruising, sprains and shoulder, neck or back discomfort. This is not a treatment guarantee.
Admission is ¥700 for adults and ¥400 for children aged 3 through elementary-school age. Check the facility calendar for the day's hours and closures; a local tourism listing may be out of date.
