Nagakute Onsen is a huge commercial complex with a circuit of baths to experience.
Both the womens and mens sections provide comprehensive bathing options to suit every taste.

Being next to the university, it can get quite busy at times. It is also popular with families. We visited towards the end of the evening, which meant that we could enjoy relative quiet.

I thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor bath and the cave baths, and made good use of the massage shower.

Inside there are many options from jets to bubbles or for the brave the electric tingle bath. This bath sends little shoots of electric like impulses through the water to relax the muscles. It's not to my liking, however there are those that swear by it!


Overall, this bath is a good one to visit if you are in the area, but not worth a voyage for the experience in itself.
