不忘の湯

It was a very wild hot spring. I enjoy visiting various day-trip hot springs. I was a little worried about the recent bear problem, but I decided to go anyway, even in the rain. It was in a mountainous area, and at first I hesitated, thinking, "A hot spring?", but I paid the fee and went inside. I think privacy is protected, but the gaps between the planks made it very wild. It was a dynamic open-air bath. You should leave your valuables in the car or bring them into the open-air bath. The hot spring water warmed me up slowly to the core, which was great. It's really just a place to soak in the bath. Of course, you wash your body, but you shouldn't think about using shampoo or anything like that. I thought it was a hot spring where you just enjoy the hot spring water. The changing room was also wild. For me, it was good that I went during a time when there weren't many insects. I tend to get cold easily after bathing, but it was nice that I stayed warm for a long time.

It's located further inside Kamasaki Onsen. There's a sign and a banner, so it's easy to find. The parking lot was small, but there were cars leaving so we were able to get in easily. We were given a basket outside in exchange for 500 yen and were guided to the bath. We took off our shoes at the entrance and headed to the changing room. It was spacious enough for two people. The bath was a semi-open-air rock bath with a handmade feel. It felt like a hidden hot spring, a long time since we'd last visited. The shower only uses cold water. There were no amenities. I think it's best to just enjoy the hot water here. If you want to wash up, why not go to another hot spring before or after? The water was light brown, but tasteless and odorless. The temperature was just right at just under 42°C. And since we had the place to ourselves, we were able to enjoy it at our own pace. On our way back, the owner promoted daikon radish and soft-boiled eggs. Buy some if you need them.

Fubo no Yu is a rare hot spring that is only open on weekends. When I arrived by car, a person who seemed to be a staff member came outside. It seems that the reception is done outside. I didn't really understand, so I worked in the car for a while, but when I arrived, it might be better to get out and pay as soon as possible. The price is 500 yen. There are no coin lockers. Hide your valuables in the car! The water is a chloride spring. I think the color is darker than that of Togatta Onsen. The temperature was also hot. It is only an open-air bath, but it feels quite nice. There was snow piled up, so I spent a lot of time making snowmen and ended up in the bath for quite a while. There are rocks to sit on in various places, so you can sit on them and take a half-body bath. I sweated quite a bit even with a half-body bath. There are also several chairs, so if it gets hot, you can cool down there. It was a pretty good hot spring in the mountains.

The first time I visited, it was a windy day, and this time was just as cold with wind and snow. It stands alone in the mountains of Shiraishi. The owners, a married couple, warmly welcomed me. The open-air bath is only 500 yen. The changing room is drafty and cold. There are no shampoos or body soaps provided. There are showers, but no hot water. Despite the cold weather, the hot spring water is amazing! ✨ The cloudy brown water flows directly from the source, and the temperature is just right to warm you up. The baths are separated for men and women, but private use is also available. I enjoyed a relaxing soak alone this time. ♨️ Their recommendation is the onsen tamago (soft-boiled eggs). They sell them in packs of 6 and 10. The owners also see you off when you leave. I'd definitely like to stop by again! 🎵

This hot spring, nestled in the middle of a field, has a wonderfully wild exterior and interior. The free-flowing, brownish, cloudy spring water is gentle on the skin and warms the body effectively. I detected a faint salty taste. The caretakers (a couple, perhaps?) provided excellent service, guiding cars and showing us around the baths. Also, their hot spring eggs are delicious, with a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture compared to other hot spring eggs (such as the radium eggs from Iizaka Onsen). Highly recommended. Please note that there is only an open-air bath, and no amenities such as shampoo are provided. Also, please be aware that they are only open during the daytime on weekends and public holidays.
