The public bath at the hotel was very nice. It has indoor and outdoor portions, open almost all hours. I was a bit nervous as it was my first time using one but the staff gave me guidance and there were also explanatory posters with English text. I went in a couple of times, once with other guests and once on my own in the early hours if the morning. Being in the outdoor portion in the warm water and surrounded by snow was a lovely experience.
The staff were extremely helpful in general and went out of their way to help me arrange my activities because I didn't have a solid plan.
The dinners were quite elaborate Japanese meals consisting of many courses, honestly more than I could eat. The breakfast buffet offered a varied selection of foods including Japanese style fish, rice, soup etc. as well as stuff like cereal, pastries and sausages.
The room was a pretty good size and the beds were comfortable, though the pillows are quite hard compared to what I'm used to. The private bathroom was basic but had everything I needed. All-in-all the hotel felt cozy and had a somewhat traditional vibe, the staff were great and I had an enjoyable time there.

The meals were very good, although the skewered whole trout would not be to everyone's taste. Tsutanuma pond is only 10 mins. walk from ryokan and an amazing natural feature at sunrise in autumn.

The location of the house was close to public bus station and the owner was nice. However, the hygienic condition of the facility was quite a concern to us. There was a strong smell of urinary excretion emitting from the toilet. The floor of the house was not clean enough. I opinine that there is room for improvement as far as the hygienic condition of the house is concerned.

The only co-ed bath house in Japan we've ever visited.
The only co-ed bath house in Japan we've ever visited. Women can buy a bathing suit thing in the lobby shop if you're shy. The onsen is one giant pool, with the womens/mens sides separated by a fence. Some old men definitely stretched to try and peep over the fence, but ladies can easily avoid giving them a free show.
The water is sulfurously smelly, but incredibly medicinal - just had knee surgery and it's like a fountain of youth. Rest area in the lobby is so relaxing, with lounge chairs facing the snowy forest outside. There is a traditional hotel connected to the onsen, and an excellent soba restaurant on site.

I consider this a 'must visit' spot.
I consider this a 'must visit' spot. The water is top of the line. The bath is mixed but don't let that keep you away. The water is cloudy and completely opaque, so you can easily cover yourself. For female-bodied people, you can enter the bath behind a fence and even stay completely behind the partition the entire time if you are feeling shy. I do recommend venturing out into the main bath. The bath house is spectacular and can only really be experienced from the main part of the bath (there is a dividing line between the men's and women's sections so don't worry. I even saw men enforcing the rules amongst each other). I have been to several mixed baths and believe that they should always be safe unless they are very secluded or totally empty. Remember, many of the men are probably feeling shy too!
In any case, this is one of my favorite onsen I've been to in Japan and I wouldn't want some women to pass it up because they are nervous about mixed bathing.
