Odawara Ohoribata Manyo no Yu 小田原お堀端 万葉の湯

City center onsen

You really ought to go to Hakone for a proper onsen experience if you're in Odawara. But in a pinch, Manyo no Yu is pretty good as it's central, has lots of features on different floors - a children's play area, two dining spaces, and "kanchaku" wear comes with the full admission price. But I just wanted a bath and opted for the reduced-price one hour plan and it was just right. The baths have hinoki tubs in the open air. Some things to take note of - the baths are on two floors requiring bathers to walk up tiled stairs and it appears that the women's bath usually has a waterfall feature but it was not running when I was there. Besides that, the full admission is quite high at nearly 3000 yen, but a one-hour iption is 1500 yen for acess to the baths only.
