The charm of Yoshikawa Onsen Yokatan lies in Kounoyu's beautiful bamboo walls, which allow you to refresh your mind and body. After renovation work, Kounoyu now has artificial bamboo walls instead of the old ones, making it more visually appealing and comfortable to use. There are two types of baths: Fukunoyu, made of wood, and Kounoyu, made of rock, with a weekly rotation for men and women.
