Asagama no Yu is one of Nozawa Onsen's thirteen public bathhouses, located on Asagama Street near the hot spring source, Magama. Known for its hot waters sourced directly from Magama (77 degrees Celsius), the bathhouse offers a traditional experience. The water is typically cooled, but remains quite hot. The facility is maintained by locals, and visitors are encouraged to leave a small donation. Open from 5:00 AM to 11:00 PM between April and November, and from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM between December and March, it's a great way to experience the local onsen culture.
