Tojinbo Mikuni Onsen, Sakai, Fukui

Kyukamura Echizen-Mikuni Ariso-no-Yu (Day Use)

Ariso-no-Yu works well as a daytime pairing with Tojinbo or Echizen-Matsushima, especially if you want a garden outdoor bath after a coastal walk. Confirm the last admission because the inn's own pages give different cutoffs.

Bathing indications
