It was a mixed bathing open-air bath with a great sense of openness❣️, but...I'm glad to see your ``grandchild'' in the comment section and the many high ratings, but I'm told that ``there are no plans to reopen🥹''...The perfect location and hot springs,The vast mixed bathing open-air bath is truly memorable...It's a shame that I couldn't leave it for posterity 😭As expected...is that big rock the problem?I think that's a good thing, but from an administrator's perspective, it's scary.Even if it is unattended and costs 1000 yen at your own risk,once again! I think there are many people who think that,I sincerely hope it reopens 🥹

27 years ago in March, I worked as a live-in part-time worker for one month. It was a month between graduating from high school and entering university, but I still remember it well. I've always wanted to take a dip in that big open-air bath again someday, but I'm disappointed. I should have gone earlier. Thank you for giving me a good social experience.

When I was a student, there was one day a week when I couldn't take a bath in the dormitory I lived in, so even though it was a day bath, I was able to go there almost every week. It was the hot spring inn that I had the deepest affection for because it turned me into a person who loves hot springs, but just as I became a member of society and wanted to stay there again, I received news that it was closing. It's been a few years since then, and there may be little hope anymore, but out of all the hot spring inns that are going out of business all over Japan, this is my favorite hot spring inn that I'd like to see reopen the most. A day trip bath is fine. I want to go back to Suimeikan Karukaya Sanso, which is filled with the scenery and memories of that time.

This is a secret hot springThis is my favorite mixed bathing open-air bath. I went to see it around August 2023, but it was no longer available. I have memories of camping in the attached camping area during the freezing winter, and bathing while melting dry towels in the hot springs. It was really fun to go to the hot springs about 5 times a day while camping. thank you very much.
