Yunohana Chaya Shinzaemon no Yu

Only 100円 per person. Nice and cool place to go. There are cable cars nearby you can ride if you want to go up sight seeing.

This is a terrific indoor-outdoor onsen. This review is focused on the massage services since it's not provided clearly on the website.
Massage is available on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays only from 12pm to 6pm. You can buy 10-minute increments at a time for 1000 yen each (i.e., 40 minutesis 4000 yen). There is a promotion for 20-minute massage and entrance to the bath for only 2700 yen (entrance to the baths is 1000 yen). You can add time to the promotion to get the duration of massage you want (e.g., I added 40mins to get a 60min massage). You can pay with credit card.
This is a dry massage over your clothes. The massage therapist will also put a towel on top of the area he massages plus sanitize his hands before touching you.
The massage therapist is extremely skilled and knows exactly what to do to get rid of the knots in your body. I even fell asleep during my treatment. We communicated fine even though I speak very little Japanese - Google Translate helped. I highly recommend his services.

Best onsen I've ever experienced! Not much is in English till you actually get into the onsen but you can easily pay your entrance fee at a machine. The staff will help.you if you have trouble. An adult fee costs 700¥. You can pay for a rented yakata (robe), towels, etc. at the machine too. All very cheap!

This is everything you want in an onsen. Perfect temps and several outdoor baths. Personal tubs outside too. The locker room is very clean although not much space if everyone wants to use a blow dryer and mirror. Would definitely recommend bringing your own after onsen body lotion as they do not provide any...

Would definitely go back. I was there while it was snowing and it was PURE MAGIC!

♨🎫1000¥ for indoor and outdoor onsen,staff is very nice, and have parking. #AndesXJapan2022

Very good onsen with outdoor area. The downside is not many facilities provided. There is a Restuarant which serve delicious food.

Perfect with several outdoor baths.
I only wish it was open for longer!

Great Onsen, really nice outside area with 3 different baths all different temperatures. They also have 3 small hottubs which are just lukewarm to relax.

The food here is good as well, nice big portions!

Super relaxing onsen with great soba restaurant next door.

One of the nicest onsens in Zao. A little expensive at 700yen but has 2 large outdoor baths, a large indoor bath and 3 small tubs. There is also a nice rest area with a restaurant. There is a free foot onsen just outside. The car parking attendants were not very friendly.

Snow covered all around with those hot tubs of paradise!

One of the best Public Onsen in Zao, great outdoor Onsen with shower. Definitely try their 山形 beef, top quality beef you can possibly find in Japan. Highly recommended.

I always come here after snowboarding. It can be quite busy during peak season but nothing beats a bath in the onsen after a day's shredding.

Absolutely phenomenal bodily experience! Well tempered onsen and delicious food. Outdoor onsen feels wonderful in snow. Top quality!

The best meal I had on my trip to Yamagata-ken. Spectacular shabu shabu with Yamagata beef: the leftover rice alone (with all the beef drippings) deserves five stars.

So relaxing. Go early and bring a towel ♨
One of the lady speaks perfect English too 💖

My favorite onsen in Zao, many memories. Was very happy to see the place all cleaned up in the summer of 2019, seems like it was brand new again.

I just spent a beautiful day in Zao and enjoyed the hot springs, indoor and out, the peaceful sound of silence emanating from snowbanks was awesome.

Very nice plan. The onsen is affordable and outdoor. Very clean as well.

This was the first time I did Onsen and this was a great place to start. Very clean and relaxing!

One of the best Onsen I've ever been in Japan! It was sooo pretty with snow!
