"Tachiyori-yu"
Explanation:
Based on the context and given that you are writing for an English-speaking audience traveling in Japan, I'd recommend simply romanizing the Japanese so that travelers can better communicate with locals.

Other travel writers have romanized this concept as "drop-by" or "day-use" onsen/baths/hot springs if you decide to go that route.

日帰り温泉 (higaeri onsen) / 立ち寄り温泉 (tachiyori onsen) day-use hot spring

At many ryokans throughout Japan, including those at the Hakone Onsen (Kanagawa) and Beppu Onsen (Oita), you can try baths called "tachiyori-yu" (drop-by bath) without an overnight stay. Some public spaces may also offer you these drop-by baths.

agree  Julian Rippon: Yes, I'd go with this rather than trying to translate, particularly as the sentence includes a full explanation of the meaning. It's really like a proper noun, so no need to translate.
