    かぐらスキー場の近くにある温泉で、隣は道の駅になっています。 駐車場も広く、冬季シーズンはスキー帰りの方で賑わいのある温泉です。 夜も21時までなので、多少遅くなっても行けます。 初めて行きましたが、露天風呂もあってめちゃくちゃ良かったです。 シャワーの出る時間が少し、短く感じますが節水していると思えば大丈夫…。 室内のお湯の方が、少し熱い気がします。熱めをご希望の方は、中のお風呂の方が良いかもで...

Locals call it “Yamanbocha.” The waters of its hypotonic alkaline high temperature spring are on the hotter side and are said to leave the skin soft and silky smooth. As bathers often get dizzy from the heat just as they feel like they’ve fully warmed up, customers are encouraged to take a short break when they notice sweat running down their face.

    ものすごい急カーブの坂道を上った所にあります。 券売機で券を買い、受付の男性に渡そうとしたら「ここ!(に置いて)」と言われて、あ、愛想ないのね、みたいに思いましたが、口コミを見て、やはり…そうなんですね(笑) 私の場合は、ここしかやり取りはなかったので、それ以上は何も思いませんでしたが、いろいろたずねたりすると面倒なのかも?? お風呂に入ってくる地元の人はみんな「こんにちは-」と言って入って...
