Kirarari Ryujin
A comfortable inn bath with a shorter day-use window
Property overview
Overview
Kirarari Ryujin combines an inn-style setting with an outdoor bath. The local hot-spring association says the water is heated and filtered, with no added water. Its current official onsen page gives a shorter day-use window than the association listing, so plan around the hotel's hours.
