Yoshiwara, Nishi-Maizuru, Maizuru, Kyoto Prefecture
Hinode-yu (Maizuru)
Pair this old neighborhood bath with a walk through Yoshiwara's fishing quarter. Its short evening window makes it a poor late-night stop after sightseeing elsewhere in Maizuru.
Check before bathing
- Opening hours
- 16:00–20:00; closed Saturdays. The older English listing of 16:30–20:30 is outdated. Adults ¥550, the current Kyoto public-bath rate.
Spring & water temperature
- Spring classification
- Ordinary public bath; no official natural-spring analysis has been confirmed.
- Water handling
- The Kyoto Bathhouse Association says the bath uses groundwater from Mount Gorogatake, heated with heavy oil. Groundwater use does not establish a legal natural-hot-spring classification; circulation and other treatment details are not confirmed.
How to read a bath profile
Spring-source temperature and actual bathing temperature are kept separate. Each score is shown independently for comparison rather than collapsed into one overall score.
