 bathhouse, hot spring, onsen, interesting place

Ōtaki no yu (大滝の湯, lit. "great waterfall hot spring") is named after spring water forming a waterfall. It is a big, spacious bath; one big indoor pool with small "waterfalls" for massage, and two outside pools. Also, a shared (time-shifting) bath in the semi-basement floor, all wooden, with several pools of gradually hotter water, from 38 thru 42 thru 44 thru 45 to 46 Centigrade. Make sure to check when it is open for men and when for women, one should not miss it.
As usual, there's also a small restaurant (or rather a snack bar) on the premises. Not to be missed.
