I first went to Kumanoyu in February 1989 and again in September of 2017. It is a wonderful hot spring that is taken care of by citizens of Rausu. Admission is free. There is a separate women’s area that is completely enclosed, and another spring that can be used by anyone, but is usually full of men. The bath is rather hot for me, and seemed to be about 45 degrees both times I went. It is on the Shiretoko Highway just after the Rausu Visitors Center where a bridge goes over the river. There is parking for a few cars and an English-language sign by the bridge. Cross the bridge and walk about 50 meters. This is my favorite hot spring in the Shiretoko area. The Rausu folks are talkative and the scenery is beautiful, with red maples in the fall and lots of snow in the winter. Visited 9/23/2017.
