There was no mention on the website of the business period or whether or not to accept a day trip. The website acts as an administrator's diary. Therefore, it is difficult to decide on a visit.

Even though the greenery has grown thicker, if you don't wear something, you'll still be able to see from the road, but nature is indescribable. It's an open-air bath, so it's recommended for people who don't mind falling leaves. This time, my family wore swimsuits and brought a net for catching fish. I told her that I would like to ask her if I could take her eggs with me next time. The owner seemed easy-going.
