There are 3 hot springs without lodging, each popular for its unique qualities. Sakinoyu with a close view of the Pacific Ocean, Muronoyu where you can soak in two kinds of hot water, Mabuyu and Miyuki source spring, and Shirarayu with a nostalgic atmosphere welcomes a day-use without lodging. There are 9-foot bath locations. These are for both males and females. Families and couples can relax together, Many of them open early in the morning. Try different hot springs and wash off your accumulated fatigue.
(Due to Covid-19, Nanki Shirahama Onsen Yumeguri passes are sold only to guests lodging at the inns that are members of the cooperative. Info as of July, 2021.)
