The view from the huge tub is wide open over Kujukuri Beach, and the yellowish-brown water is typical of Shirako Onsen. From the changing room you can step onto a terrace and cool down in the sea breeze. It costs 800 yen for a day visit. The bath is on the 9th floor, with one simple indoor pool, a large capacity, and 20 washing stations. The shampoos are quality products from a major cosmetics maker. The facilities are showing their age, though that wasn't a problem for me. I went on Saturday from 2:30 to 3:30 PM and had the bath almost to myself until I was leaving, when about 20 elementary school kids arrived and made it chaotic. Groups of kids on club activities can turn up, so for a relaxing Saturday visit, I'd finish bathing as early as possible.
