I went!The sauna located in Yamabe District, Nara Prefecture was taken care of by the ume yamaze day trip plan. Although it is located in a place that cannot be described as being near the station, it is a sauna in a nice place that you can see once you go.The stove in the ume yamaze sauna is a huge wood stove, but it provides gentle heat that warms you from the core of your body and makes you sweat.The sauna is very well thought out and there is always fresh air coming in, making it very comfortable.I went in for 20 minutes without thinking anything.This is a room where you can forget about time.I had a great experience!

It really is a village. It's best if you go looking for something. There was no TV so I fell asleep while reading a book💤Although it's not a sauna, it was nice to have a private nature sauna!

I finally got to go to the sauna that I had wanted to go to for years!The temperature wasn't too high and I was able to self-roll, so I had a comfortable time.Above all, the location of the outdoor bath is the best!I would definitely like to stay here next time.thank you very much! !

It was a wood-fired sauna with a great atmosphere. It was my first time eating firewood, but I didn't feel suffocated at all and was able to enjoy it until the end.The BBQ is plentiful and filling. The staff was very friendly and made me feel comfortable from beginning to end. If I had to say it, I wish the day trip plan had been an hour longer. I am planning to visit again next month.

I used the day trip plan with BBQ.Sorry, I got the impression that there were a lot of things I wasn't satisfied with.I was especially concerned about hygiene and security.I was imagining day use at the hotel, as I was told that even with a day trip plan, I could use the room as a private place to prepare, take a bath after the sauna, and wait.However, in reality, a day-tripper uses the uncleaned room that someone else has just checked out of until the next guest uses it.In the room we were taken on a day trip, the trash from the previous room, including the used toothbrush, was still there, and the bathtub and sink were still clogged with hair.You have no choice but to walk around the sauna in reusable slippers that don't feel clean, and inside the room you have to walk on the rough, wet floor with wet bare feet to use the bathroom or toilet.I felt so bad that I couldn't help it.Before putting on my shoes, I wiped the soles of my feet with a wet tissue I had on hand.What's more, even though we left our valuables and a change of clothes in the room, we didn't even lock the room, and while we were using the sauna in the separate building, the next guest came? They told me to put all my belongings on the sofa because they were going to start cleaning for the next day.I didn't feel comfortable using the sauna.I get the impression that day-trippers are being squeezed in during the gap between guests checking out and the next check-in.I paid 9,800 yen per person and was disappointed in this treatment.I understand that the Finnish sauna doesn't require high temperatures, but since you have to open and close the door during the cold bath, the temperature is often half-baked.Inside the sauna, you sit at the top, but the footing is poor and the room is dark, making it a bit dangerous.The BBQ meal was pretty good.There was no particular sense of local vegetables.Mixed grain rice and tea were included.I'm sorry, but I couldn't understand why the reviews were so good.I guess it's the ultra-rural setting, the old folk house in the mountain top location, modern elements, and the presentation of the homepage.It's probably the best for people who want to look good.Especially with the day trip plan, I was always pressed for time because I had to leave the store exactly at 2:00 pm, so I got the impression that I couldn't relax enough to take a sauna, take a bath, get dressed, or eat.Of course, this was due to my lack of prior imagination as I chose the day trip plan.Personally, I thought it would be more comfortable to use a hotel with a sauna or a super public bath.
