Fujioka Lively Support Center Fujinohana

The bath I was looking for was closed, so I searched for hot springs on Google Maps and found this place. It looked like a nursing home. I went inside and confirmed it was indeed this place, but the price was 100 yen for city residents over 65, but 600 yen for those under 65 outside the city. The bath was heated and only indoors, so it wasn't great value. The people inside were not 65 years old, but rather over 85 years old. The karaoke in the banquet hall was full of songs from the 1940s and 1950s. During the karaoke, elderly people were in front of me, dancing along to the karaoke tunes. Since each song costs 100 yen, one bath and three songs would cost just 400 yen, which is great for seniors. If you're a fan of Showa-era pop music, it's worth a visit, but the songs everyone was singing were all unfamiliar to me. The only one I recognized was "Lil's Return from Shanghai," a song my late grandfather used to listen to.

Just a regular platform. People just skip the queue at reception and jump straight into the bath from the changing room without even washing. Dirty. Out of the question. I can't take it anymore. Oh, I see, so the bath is the washing area here! There are no younger people here, just a hangout for old people. The facilities are great. I'm grateful they provide such a place. If it weren't for the old people, I'd go there every day. A group of people hog the outlets in the waiting room and are always using their hair dryers. The smell of your scalp, which I don't even want to smell, is all over my body. What's the point of the hair dryer in the changing room? They charge a few smartphones for free. They'll probably bring a refrigerator soon. The level of civility? What's that? If they've improved, they'll update the review. But I don't think I'll be going again.

I used it for the first time during my free time. It's my fault for not checking, but I'd like to say a few things. This facility does not have a heated bath sauna. There's a discount for Fujioka residents, but the admission fee is 600 yen for non-residents. I only used it for about an hour. I think it would be easier to come back if the price were a little cheaper... But the baths were clean and nice. (*^^*) I'm a Maebashi resident. Locally, there's a sauna with a natural hot spring that costs 500 yen. It's 300 yen for seniors. Compared to this, it's a bit disappointing, and I wish there was at least a sauna. m(_ _)m

This is a day-use bathing facility in Fujioka City, Gunma Prefecture. It is operated by Fujioka City. It has a bath and a large tatami room. Food items such as bento boxes are sold at the shop. Meals are not prepared. There is also a karaoke stage, massage chairs (additional charge), a ping-pong table, a library, and more. There is also free Wi-Fi. The fee is 400 yen for general users within the city and 600 yen for general users outside the city. The fee is 100 yen for general users 65 years of age and older. Payment is cash only. There is parking for 50 cars.

The bathing fee is ¥200 for locals over 65, ¥300 for everyone else, and ¥600 for the general public. There are no open-air baths or saunas, but it's clean and I was able to relax in the bath. The rest area (large hall) was so crowded I thought it was a karaoke and dance party, and the singing was so loud I didn't feel like resting. (I tried lying down in the small tatami area, but I could hear the singing, so that was a no-go.)
