Kyukamura Myoko Day-Use Onsen: Hours, Price and Winter Closure
Kyukamura Myoko's indoor third-floor bath faces Mount Myoko. Admission is ¥800 for adults, but day use is seasonal and suspended in winter.
The draw here is the view through the broad windows, not an outdoor bath. “Koshi-no-yu” is an indoor bath on the hotel’s third floor; there is no open-air bath. On a clear day, Mount Myoko fills the view, while the changing foliage gives the room a different feel through spring and autumn.
Day-use admission and the seasonal limit
| Day-use detail | Current information |
|---|---|
| Hours | 1–6 p.m. |
| Admission | ¥800 adults; ¥700 children age four and over |
| Amenities | Shampoo, conditioner and body wash provided |
| Towels | Face towel ¥200 to buy; bath towel ¥200 to rent |
Two restrictions matter more than the headline hours. Kyukamura may suspend day bathing during busy periods, so confirm before travelling. Its current day-use page also says day bathing stops during winter. The hotel remains open to overnight guests, but winter photographs of the bath do not mean the public day-use ticket is available.
The current notice suspends day bathing from December 19, 2026 through March 28, 2027. Check the operator notice near those dates for any update.
What is in the bath?
The hotel describes the water as a natural sodium-calcium chloride spring drawn from Seki Onsen and circulated and filtered. That is the facility-specific description for Koshi-no-yu. The same website also describes a separate Myoko Onsen source at 62.3°C; that figure belongs to the wider hot-spring area, not to this bath.
The bath is a good fit if you want a warm indoor soak with a mountain view and hotel amenities. Choose another facility if an outdoor bath or a free-flowing spring is essential.
Getting there
Kyukamura Myoko is outside the station area. The hotel lists a reservation-based shuttle from Sekiyama Station, but the access page does not clearly promise that day visitors can use it. Ask when confirming day-bath availability. Myoko’s municipal Seki-Tsubame route is another option; compare the current bus timetable with the 1–6 pm bathing window and the return journey before committing.
