町営御免沢温泉スタンド

The quality of the water at this hot spring stand is definitely great. Just be careful of horseflies and hornets in the summer! If you leave the back door open, they can easily get into your car, so make sure to just put the plastic container down and close it immediately. It's located along the road leading to Forest Spa Daigo. There are no road signs, so it's a little hard to find. What's great is that there are three faucets from which the hot spring water comes out. There are no hoses or anything included, so you pour the water into the plastic container as shown in the photo. The water is colorless and transparent, but it's smooth and doesn't cool down easily after bathing. We use one 20-liter plastic container per bath, and it really does feel like a hot spring. I drain the water promptly after bathing, so I haven't had any problems with the bath heater so far. Being able to have hot spring water at home is great.

A hot spring stand where you can park your car is perfect. When I go to Daigo Town, I always bring a plastic can with me. Even though I'm a guy, my skin feels incredibly smooth. The best hot spring stands in Ibaraki Prefecture are the Oarai Town Hot Spring Stand and this one in Daigo Town. Both are recommended for women. If you use high-end lotions, soaking in a hot spring at a hot spring stand every day will give you beautiful skin. Even men are hooked on hot spring stands. My skin is so smooth. To combat sweaty smells in the summer, I add 50cc of alum water. I bathe in my own blended bath. The only downside here is that it's on a slope, so your car has to be tilted. Also, even when I turn the faucet all the way up, it's hard to get any water.

I stopped by on my way back from Fukuroda Falls. There were three taps, and a local person was using one, but they shared one with me. Thank you very much. This hot spring is famous in Daigo, and apparently it's so good that people draw water from it almost every day. I tried adding it to my bath, and with a pH of 8.7, it left my dry skin feeling refreshed. I wish it was a little smoother, but it did warm me up, so I think it was good. I recommend it.

This free hot spring stand has a gazebo that's convenient for a quick break, and behind it is a sign for the "Forest Hot Spring Pocket Park." The part that turns the faucet is wrapped up in duct tape, which disappointed me, making me wonder if it's prohibited from use, but when I turned the black part at the top, hot spring water came out just fine. (^o^) By the way, the hot spring water is not drinkable.

I put it in a plastic container and take it home to add to the bathwater. It's a hassle to use all the bathwater, so I have no choice, but I'm grateful.
