Any recomendations for an outdoor onsen in Hakone?
I have been looking for an outdoor onsen in Hakone, but with so many options it's really overwhelming and I would only be spending one day, so would not be able to try as many as I would like.
I have seen some that are outdoors, but with fences around, so no much of a view.
Any tips based on your experiences?
It could be in a ryokan, but not necessarily, as we will be staying in one when we get to Kyoto.
Many thanks.

Can't find any great pictures of it (cameras aren't allowed, as there's nekkid people there), but something like this:

Japanese readers - help needed
hailstorm - This looks nice, but did not have availability for our dates. Thank you for the pics though.
I searched Senkyoro but did not come up with any recent reviews, at least in English. Only found a comment on an old tripadvisor forum (2007) that it had positive reviews on Japanese travel sites, another comment said it didn't have so great reviews, but also in Japanese.
Would anyone that can read Japanese please assist in finding any recent reviews about this property? I was particularly interested as they seem to offer ceramic art classes for guests as well.

According to the Ikyu site, the only days that aren't available over the next three months are March 16th, April 10th, and May 17th.

Thank you for checking, hailstorm. Yes, April 10 was one of the dates. Although Senkyor's milky water looked great to me, my travel companions were a bit concerned about the smell of the sulfate springs. So we decided to go for the Hyatt Hakone. I still would like to go to a rotenburo, so now I am trying to find one we can visit.
