We came here because it was the only outdoor onsen we could find that had mixed gender bathing. I had the impression that it was "towel-optional" for ladies, but another female (Japanese) guest rushed over to me when I entered the bath with just a modesty towel and ushered me back to the changing room to get a proper wrap around towel. Then when I came out with it, she pointed out that it had snaps along the top to make sure the towels wouldn't reveal anything, and actually snapped my snaps herself. She was kind and motherly about it - not rude or aggressive. Still, people thinking this is towel optional should be aware of this expectation. I was not aware that there is an annex where couples can enjoy the time together. They had convenient parking and helped us with our bags. Little to no English spoken. The stay was a gift for my husband who had never been to Japan and loves seeking out wild hotsprings in the US. So, the room and the kaiseki did not disappoint. The bathing while beautiful was a little akward. And we would have preferred to have our meal in the company of others, especially since we had no idea about what we were eating. I don't think it's so difficult these days to run a menu through a translator program and print it. So, I'm glad we experienced it. It was far and above the most expensive place we stayed in Japan. For any further visits, I think we'll look for a place outdoor private baths.

野天風呂は写真の通りとてもよかったです。ぬるいという口コミもあり、確かにその通りですが、だからこそ長く湯に浸かることが出来ます。また、よく探せば暖かいお湯が出ている処もあります。夕食で提供された岩魚の塩焼きはとても美味しく、東京の星付きレストランでも同じものを出すのは困難でしょう。此処にしかない贅沢が確かにありました。

露天白骨溫泉沒得輸！
地點在山上 如不是自駕會比較麻煩 但旅館露天風呂真的太好 很舒服很relax! 只是露天的溫泉水可以再熱一點就更加好！一泊二食 食物不錯 不過餐廳抽風好像不是太好 油煙味很重！總括來說 是一間很值的再來的白骨溫泉旅館！

到着が遅くなりましたが、快く迎えてくれて嬉しかったです。 お部屋もキレイで広くて良かったですが、お風呂にドライヤーが無くてびっくりしました。旅館の人に聞くと、コロナ対策で何も置いていないとのことでした。 お風呂に入る前に気づいたので良かったですが、先に教えて欲しかったです。 お部屋にティッシュが無いのも残念でした。 帰りに上高地の行き方を聞くと、とても丁寧に教えてくださり、大変助かりました。

有名だけど。。。
何度も日帰り入浴で訪れていた有名な混浴の露天風呂は広くて気持ち良いです。滞在して良かったのは、時間に縛られずに入れること。 食事は美味しくありません。 また、建物も古めであまり綺麗とは言い難いです。 強気の価格設定で、ぶっちゃけ宿泊はオススメしません。 白骨温泉には他にも良いお宿があります。 日帰り入浴を数回経験するくらいで十分です。
