A Hot Spring "Hikawago Asahanoyu at Mikawaya Ryokan" in Okutama Tokyo 東京奥多摩氷川郷麻葉の湯三河屋旅館（Onsen 温泉）

I present you a Tokyo ryokan hot spring. A ryokan 旅館 is a type of Japanese style inn. Mikawaya Ryokan 三河屋旅館 has a good hot spring. The use of the hot spring in this ryokan is not limited to ryokan guests.

If you want to go hiking in Tokyo for a day. I would recommend the Okutama 奥多摩 area because there are several tracks for beginner hikers. After a day of hiking, you can take the hot spring at the ryokan located near Okutaka 奥多摩 Station.

Good things about this hot spring

It takes only 5 minutes walk from Okutama 奥多摩 Station.
When I went there it wasn't crowded with hikers. Maybe, this hot spring is not well known to hikers. However, I went there on weekday.
There was no chlorine smell. They officially says that they add it to the water, but I think they do only slightly.
It is not open-air bathroom but there is a beautiful river view.

The bathtub (bathroom) is not large, but I was really relaxed. When I was staying in the bathroom for about 1 hour only two more people came in, and they quickly finished bathing. I spent most of the time with no other customers. So I was able to take these pictures.

If you are embarrassed to take Japanese style bath, this place would be good for you, because maybe there are less people than other popular hot springs.

The bathrooms are separated for men and women.

It's mixed hot water comes from a hot spring and a normal water supply.
The water is heated.
The water in the bath is filtered and reused.
Some chlorine is added for sanitary reasons.

I think the quality of this hot spring water is clean and good. They also have good facilities such as shower, hair dryer and so on.
