Normally when entering an Onsen you go directly to the vending machine to buy your ticket. At Sayano it is different. When entering you receive a key which also has a bar code attached to it. You can purchase everything with this key and you pay when leaving at the vending machines at the exit. The specialty of this Onsen is beside the variety of bath and outdoor area the upper floor which has a hot stone sauna. As you wear clothes, entrance fee and dressing purchased additional inside at the reception, mixed gender is allowed. You have 3 Saunas (Winter, 11°C, Autumn 40°C, Summer 47°C) and a relaxing room for around 24 people.
