Nozawa Onsen Shinyu Bathhouse is a unique and popular public bath located a bit away from the central area of Nozawa Onsen. Known for its distinctive milky white, emerald green waters (depending on the day) and black 'yu no hana' (hot spring flakes), it offers a more intense hot spring experience. The water is quite hot, so be prepared to adjust the temperature. Remember to offer a small donation as a sign of respect to the local community that maintains the bathhouse. Open from 6:00 to 19:00, it's a must-visit for hot spring enthusiasts looking for something different.
