Global rating :     
Sukayu onsen is a famous ryokan with about 300 years of history, and the oldest spa in the Hakkoda Mountain area... Its bathing house, called the sennin buro, has always attracted visitors from all part of Japan, and is considered to have special healing powers. It is really unfortunate that this ryokan doesn't have any rotenburo.

Size :     
In a large room of 80 tsubo (320 m2) is located the "sennin buro", which translated as "1000-person bath"... However, as can confirm a famous picture from the pamphlet of the ryokan (the two mixed indoor baths completely filled with people), it is probably not possible to put there more than one hundred bathers! The baths are made of cypress trees; one contains pure hot water, while the other is made from a mixture of hot and cold water.

Modesty :     
With separate changing rooms and entrances, women can discreetly reach the baths, their modesty being protected by the darkness of the room, a very humid air... and a bath towel, of course! Furthermore, the baths are technically segregated: men on one side, women on the other - but without any physical separation... The only disturbing element could be the promiscuity, if the room is really crowded.
