What Yamatono-yu lacks in bath variety, it makes up for in its location — it is only 40 minutes away from Narita Airport, which makes it a perfect stop whether you are just beginning your time in Japan, or are flying out of the country and want one last onsen fix.
If you’re shy, three private baths are available to book. A private bath for up to two people will set you back ¥2,800 for 1 hour, and one for up to four people will cost ¥4,000. These baths need to be booked in advance, so be sure to check their website. Entry to the regular bathing area is a very reasonable ¥950 on weekdays and ¥1,100 on weekends.
