I wouldn't encourage you to do so. I think a lot of female users would feel uncomfortable with any boy who is "school age" which is about 6. Also, a typical nine-year-old would be embarrassed himself to enter a female onsen.

If you're not traveling with another male, try to book a room with a private bath, or tell him all the manners so that he can bath by himself in the male's onsen. The morning hours are usually a better time since there are less users.

It is good question. Actually I did not know even the rule or regulation exists or not.

At least, in Tokyo Metropolitan Government has a low that opposite sex children can take a bath
if he/she is under 9 y/o.

I saw the site of public bath where I often go to.
That says so and it (may be) has an original rule that the children should under 135cm hight.
