We travelled for the day from Kakunodate to enjoy the hot springs in Nyuto, and selected this ryokan. As we understand it, many of the ryokans in this area open their onsens to day visitors, and so we went! We took a bus that dropped us off right outside this ryokan, which is located by a waterfall (!). The staff are very friendly and helped us buy the entry ticket, and rent a towel (you can bring your own). The entry to the hot baths are gender-based. Inside, there are two pools for women only (same for men), and then there are two mixed pools. I had to overtake my western bashfulness to use the mixed one, and it was worth it! The two mixed pools are outdoors by the waterfall: incredible setting. If you go only for the day, please note that the onsens are open to the general public only for few hours (e.g, 10:30 am to 2:30pm).
