Kegon Onsen in Shigino: A Natural Spring Bath at Sento Prices
Kegon Onsen has a source-fed outdoor bath near 36.5°C, no sauna and a four-minute walk from Shigino Station. Check hours, last entry and ¥600 admission.
Kegon Onsen’s outdoor bath uses natural spring water drawn from around 1,000 metres underground. The pool is kept near 36.5°C, close to body temperature, so the visit suits a slow soak more than a high-heat sauna session.
A low-temperature outdoor bath
That 36.5°C figure is the bathing-pool temperature; no wellhead temperature is given. The bath has an indoor pool and a cold bath as well. There is no sauna, so this is a better match for someone who wants the source-fed outdoor bath than a sauna circuit.
The outdoor pool’s milder temperature can suit visitors who find hot baths tiring or want a slower soak after walking. Its 36.5°C figure is the pool temperature; no wellhead temperature is published.
Some visitors mention a faint iron-like smell, but no mineral classification is confirmed. Cooler weather changes how the open-air bath feels, so plan around the visit rather than a set soaking time.

Four minutes from Shigino Station
Kegon Onsen is about four minutes on foot from both JR Shigino and Osaka Metro’s Imazatosuji Line station. The address is 2-19-5 Shigino-Higashi, Joto Ward. For a compact outing, it pairs easily with a stay around Shigino or Kyobashi; a cross-city detour makes less sense if you only want an ordinary bath.
For another natural-spring sento in Joto Ward, compare the Fudoyu guide. Both have verified spring water, but Fudoyu opens earlier, has a sauna and more parking; Kegon is closer to Shigino Station and has the gentler outdoor bath, with no sauna. The Osaka day-onsen guide covers a wider range of facilities. Tattoo admission rules are not clearly published, so ask before visiting if that affects your plans.
