Hama-no-yu
About
Hama-no-yu (浜の湯), Motomachi. A co-ed outdoor bath that has great views of Izu Hanto and Mt. Fuji on a clear day. Gets somewhat crowded around sunset and bathing suits are obligatory. The garden in front of the onsen contains a statue of Godzilla, who was entombed in the volcano in one of his movies (and later resurrected in a sequel when the volcano erupted). Entrance fee is ¥400 and it closes at 19:00. If there is high wind/rain, there is a good chance that the spa will be closed, which will be announced over the island's loudspeakers.
