    Wakayama Pref. Hidakagunhidakagawachou Ubuyugawa 1587

    名前が仰々しくこれまで素通りしていましたが、きのくに中津荘の無料クーポンを利用して行ってきました。内湯1つのシンプルな日帰り温泉施設です。 施設の近くにキャンプ場があるため、夏場の土日は混雑と施設の方がコメントしていましたが、訪問時は平日のためほぼ貸切状態でゆっくり入浴できました。場所が若干不便なため穴場かと思いますが、露天もなく景観もイマイチでした。

Together with Kawanaka Onsen in Gunma Prefecture and Yunokawa Onsen in Shimane Prefecture, this district is considered one of Japan's three great skin beautifying hot spring villages. Discovered by the great monk Kobo Daishi, founder of Shingon Buddhism, this ancient and history-leaden hot spring destination was used by the lords of the Kii Province Tokugawa clan in the Edo period. The area's hydrogen carbonate springs (alkaline springs) are characterized by their soft, velvety feel and are renowned for giving bathers smooth, moisturized skin. These waters are also said to have powerful warmth retaining qualities and aid in recovery from fatigue, help alleviate sensitivity to cold and stiff shoulders, and prevent post-bath chills.
