mixed bathing 2009/9/6 01:44
Here is a good site for searching for outdoor mixed bathing, with links to ryokans:

Not that my travels have been exhaustive, but I've been to a few mixed rotemburo, and what I've seen is that few Japanese women use them, if there is an option to go to a segregated bath.

Just wondering whether it is advisable to go to Tamagawa Onsen during the month of February. Can I do it as a day trip to the Onsen if I am staying in Tazawako?

Tamagawa Onsen is about a 1.5 hour drive from Tazawako so it should be easily done as a day trip.

Also, just to add to the earlier conversation, there apparently is a free mixed rotenburo at Tamagawa Onsen, however it is along side the trail with absolutely no cover of any kind. I don't remember seeing it when I visited though...

Thanks for that. We will keep it in mind for our next trip to Japan. We got back a few days ago. The only outdoor mixed one was in Futo at Fujiyoshi which we did not use and only stayed one night as we were very disappointed with the place indeed.

Now I'm more familar with areas I think our next trip will be even better. And yes, we will be back, we LOVE the place.

Thanks yllwsmrf. We don't drive, are there any buses or other means of transportation to go to Tamagawa Onsen from Tazawako? I understand it is still winter in Feb, any idea what the temperature would be like?

Yes, buses run from Tazawako Station to Shin Tamagawa Onsen which appears to be about 500m from Tamagawa Onsen. There are four buses per day each way which take about an hour and cost 1400 yen.

I understand it is still winter in Feb, any idea what the temperature would be like?

Looks like it'll be around zero degrees.
