Yamanaka Onsen Soyu Kiku-no-yu

4.0

The Yamanaka Onsen, located in Kaga City, Ishikawa Prefecture, is a hot springs area with a history going back 1,300 years. The poet Matsuo Basho, who visited the hot springs during the journey that he described in “Oku no Hosomichi (The Narrow Road to the Deep North),” was so impressed by the smooth-feeling water of the springs, which is warm without being excessively hot, that he wrote a Haiku poem in praise of them, in which he suggested that “Bathing in these waters should in itself be sufficient to ensure long life.” The Souyu Kiku-no-yu baths take their Japanese name from this poem; these baths have remained consistently popular since they were first developed. The men’s baths and women’s baths are located in separate, matching buildings.

定休日と営業時間変更

たまたま雪の日のNHKニュースを現地で視て実感した。山中温泉温泉「総湯」の高温は燃料価格高騰の影響を受けるのだ。熱い湯が売りである。菊の湯男子館前に立つと菊の湯女子館と山中館が見える。早く宿に帰って、宿の温泉に浸かろう。
山中温泉の総湯

山中温泉の中心部にある総湯（共同浴場）。面白いことに、男湯と女湯が別の建物になっている。付近には劇場、山中座や飲泉場もあり、温泉情緒が漂う。入浴してみて、泉質が非常に良いと感じた。総湯なので、石鹸などのアメニティは無い。
日帰りならここで

外湯なので日帰りで入れます。温泉街の中央で近くに無料駐車場もあり、便利です。男湯と女湯で建物が違うので注意してください。地元の人もたくさん入られています。深さは膝立ちで首まででした。座って温めまるのとは、また違った温まり方になったように思います。石鹸は使えますが、自分で用意する必要があります。
