Shitanyu Public Bath

The Shitanyu (下ん湯) offers a truly authentic bathing experience right by the shores of Lake Kinrinko. This old-fashioned public bathhouse features two small, gender-mixed pools, opening at the back to reveal a peaceful view of surrounding greenery. It's a step back in time, ideal for travelers seeking simplicity and tradition.

Facilities at The Shitanyu are very minimal, with no dedicated changing rooms, keeping the experience as rustic and genuine as possible. If you're looking to enjoy a quiet, unpretentious soak in a serene setting, this historic bathhouse captures the true spirit of Yufuin’s old onsen culture.
