Shirabu Onsen, Yonezawa, Yamagata
Nakaya Bekkan Fudokaku
A long gorge-facing bath with a steep, stair-heavy layout
Property overview
Overview
Fudokaku's long Olympic bath faces the gorge near the headwaters of the Mogami River. The inn says spring water emerges naturally and describes a steady supply of fresh water to the bath. The property has many stairs and no elevator, so the layout is a real consideration for guests with limited mobility.

The current text pages do not publish a complete bath-by-bath statement on water addition, heating, recirculation or disinfection, so the entire facility is not described as untreated free-flowing water.
