Kamidera Yu is one of Nozawa Onsen's traditional public bathhouses, offering a glimpse into local bathing culture. Located near Kumanote-araiyu, it's known for its hot spring water sourced from the Ogama, which some reviewers describe as quite hot. The bathhouse features a simple, single-tub setup, often enjoyed in solitude, especially during off-peak hours. Note that the changing area is integrated with the bathing area. Open from early morning until late evening, it's a convenient stop while exploring the village.
