Motoyu

Motoyu (元湯) is the main public bathhouse in Takeo Onsen and a favorite among locals and travelers seeking an authentic bathing experience. It offers a simple and traditional setup with two pools for each gender—one hot and one very hot—providing a relaxing and revitalizing soak in mineral-rich waters.

The atmosphere is peaceful and unpretentious, reflecting the true spirit of a classic Japanese onsen. With its no-frills design, Motoyu is all about pure relaxation and tradition. If you're looking to unwind the local way, this is the perfect spot to immerse yourself in the healing waters of Takeo.
