Discovering this little public onsen gem perched on the craggy coast of the Izu Peninsula was something else! With stunning views of Sagami Bay, this pretty onsen is just lovely to relax in after exploring the surrounding areas. It only costs you 300 yen! to enter for adults! You can purchase the entry in the main building of Funado no Banya (the white building below) then follow the signs to the steps built along the coast to the public onsen.

The entrance is rather nondescript and honestly looked a bit dated when I was sliding it open, but then you’re greeted by the small warm changing area…. and when you slide open the door to a wood panelled decking that leads to the onsen and those ocean views you will honestly feel like you’ve stumbled upon a hidden paradise (and if you’re lucky all to yourself like I had!)

There are no showers, proper wash area (ie. soap and shampoo) at the onsen area itself, but there are showers back in the main building which will cost 200yen to use. If you’re not comfortable with using a public onsen, there is a free foot bath just outside the main building.
