Kashikiri private baths
All the plus points of an onsen hot spring experience, but you won't have to share.
Ryokan with a range of hot spring baths may have one kashikiri bath. This is a bath that can be used privately by locking the door behind you. These can be used alone or as a family or couple. Higher grade ryokan may also have rooms with private en-suite hot spring baths either indoor or out which are perfect for couples.
However you take an onsen bath, the end goal is the same: to reach a state of yudedako or "boiled octopus" otherwise known as that happy, relaxed feeling you get after full immersion in hot bath water. Enjoy!
