Maybe this is covered in part 3, but some towns have a municipal onsen water service for private households. I was recently talking to a real estate agent in southern Kyushu who said that every household in his town could pay 3000yen per month to get unlimited onsen water piped into their home between 7am-10pm every day.
- boomboomsubban 3y agoDo you know why 7AM to 10PM? That sounds like some employee is necessary to facilitate piping the water, but I can't imagine what role they would have that isn't automated with standard municipal water.
- Danieru 3y agoMunicipal style "network" onsen will distribute onsen water but the broad distribution means the water cools down. My guess would be the city does not wish to run the reheaters during low use periods. Onsen piping requires maintenance, more than regular water systems, but not daily.
