Near JR Sojiji Station, Ibaraki, Osaka Prefecture

Gokurakuyu Ibaraki

A strong budget option if you want an early or late soak, a natural spring and a sauna about six minutes on foot from JR Sojiji Station. Check which ticket you buy: the ¥600 public-bath ticket excludes the open-air area and saunas, so most visitors will want to compare it with Royal Bath admission.
