Senninburo Kanaya Ryokan

As mentioned in the reviews, the staff at the accommodation were very considerate, and the accommodation itself, with its 100-year history, provided a relaxing and leisurely experience. Meals were served in the room with a variety of dishes, all of which were delicious. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed them. However, the "Sennin Bath" being mixed-gender made it uncomfortable for women to enter. As noted in reviews, there seemed to be men lingering near the entrance, which was disappointing. On the other hand, we appreciated being able to reserve a private bath that was spacious and enjoyable.

It was packed with day-use bathers until 8:00 PM. It must be popular.The area in front of the women’s exit of the mixed-gender “1,000-Person Bath” was especially crowded. When I opened the door, people stared at me and it was frightening.I wish people had the basic manners to at least look away.I walked in confidently, but a young woman opened the door, froze, and went back out.Do Japanese men have no kindness? No sense of shame? Not even the courtesy to cover themselves?It’s such a good Onsen, but this is why mixed bathing culture is disappearing.
