Nozawa Onsen Soto-yu Meguri

4.0

"25 minutes from the Toyota-Iiyama Interchange on the Joshin-Etsu Expressway. The sotoyu are 13 public baths in the Nozawa Onsen hot spring district which have been maintained since the Edo period under the Yunakama system. Dotting the district, each bathhouse is only a few minutes' walk from the next, and visitors can enjoy visiting each to experience their unique qualities. The baths of the Oyu and all the public bathhouses are constantly replenished ""kakenagashi"" style exclusively from a natural source spring. A statue depicting the Bhaisajyaguru triad is enshrined in the Oyu, and statues of the 12 divine Buddhist generals are enshrined in the other 12 bathhouses. Entry to all the bathhouses is free, though visitors are welcome to put a gratuity in the donation box."

昼前に入りましたが、構外にあるせいかお客さんも少なくゆったりとお湯を楽しむことができました。湯船は野沢にしては大きめで、この時は湯加減も適温でした。お湯自体はオーソドックスな感じです。
民宿が並ぶあたりにある外湯

野沢温泉の外湯めぐりで、集印帳をもって訪問。野沢温泉の中心からやや離れた、民宿が並ぶあたりにあります。コンクリート造りの湯屋で、やや風情に欠けますが、お湯はいいです。中心からやや離れている分、入浴される方は少ないようでした。
