Which Onsen Ryokan do Tim Ferris and Kevin Rose speak about?
score:11
I found the page on Tim's site for the podcast (rather than the transcript) and at the bottom it has a number of bullets that include:
- We’re staying at the Araya Totoan
Which feels pretty definitive to me.

The blog mentions Kanazawa (Ishikawa-ken), so I'm reasonably certain actually incorrect about them staying at Tadaya (多田屋), a rather famous ryokan in Wakura Onsen on the nearby Noto Peninsula, which does indeed feature private outdoor baths:
Update: I was wrong and Kate's answer is correct.
For what it's worth, you don't need to head all the way to Wakura to experience this. The following search for onsen hotels where at least some of the guest rooms have private outdoor baths (露天付き客室) returns 452 (!) results all across Japan: https://www.yukoyuko.net/special/t00024

Listening to the actual clip, the speaker sounds like he has a good understanding of the pronunciation of Japanese words, so I don't think he mispronounced or misread, but that the person doing the transcript couldn't hear the word.
I believe he said "Araya" (the "ra" sound in Japanese can sometimes sound like a "da" sound to people). This could possibly be referring to be Araya Totoan. Though this is situated just outside of Kanazawa it may be close enough for people so just include it in Kanazawa (I think it's a bit of a strech). You can check out the site to see that they have open-walled private baths facing a forest.
In the end, however, if you really want to know, it'd be best just ask Tim himself.
