Takamagahara-sanso hut
It is also the number 4 highest onsen in Japan(2100m).
Grab your towel and walk 20 min to the stream, you smell sulfur near the stream.

There is a 4 - 6 people-sized bath with white sulfur onsen. It's a little bit hot, but gentle breeze is so cool. I felt like I wee in the heaven.

A bigger and not too hot onsen, I love it a luke warm onsen.

A roofed and fenced onsen hut is for women. They say it's a very good onsen dipping without hesitation.
