I used the sauna on the shore of Lake Inawashiro.You can bathe in the lake instead of taking a water bath, so it has a great sense of freedom.

The sauna service that allows you to dive into Lake Inawashiro is good, but it takes time to change clothes, guide you, and give explanations, so we recommend arriving with plenty of time.Even guests are encouraged to bring their own towels.The restaurant has been renovated and is clean.Rather than authentic Chinese food, it's gentle Chinese food for Japanese people, and the portions are huge.The inn is quite old. If you go there with the image of a neat, ryokan-style hotel on the official site or website, you will be shocked.Especially in the summer, there were a lot of insects, and it was shocking to see countless small ants growing on the tatami mats and wriggling under my clothes.The location is just great.There was only a small indoor bath, and it was covered in sand probably because everyone took a bath after diving into Lake Inawashiro.I appreciate that you can take a bath 24 hours a day, but I would appreciate it if you could clean it frequently.

First tent sauna & lake bath!I used to go to Lake Inawashiro to bathe when I was a child, but I'm impressed that you can now enjoy it in such a modern way!#saunaTent sauna! Temperature can be adjusted with firewood and self-rolling! ! It's great that you can adjust the temperature to your liking.I enjoyed it at around 100℃ to 130℃~The tent sauna is much better than I expected! It's good that we're the only ones there#water bathDive directly into Lake Inawashiro! Since it was summer, the water temperature was a bit high, but the water was shallow and you could keep your feet on the water for a long time, and diving was of course possible, as well as swimming! Maybe a slightly cooler season would be nice#rest spaceThere is a tall chair between the tent sauna and the lake, and I rented an infinity chair, which was great!I didn't try it this time, but they seem to have food and it looks delicious.

I tried a day trip sauna.At first, I was confused because the room temperature was too hot, but once I got used to it and got the hang of it, I was able to spend a comfortable time.Bathe your whole body in hot steam with Loryu and endure for 5 minutes.Afterwards, it was extremely pleasurable to cool down by soaking in the water of Lake Inawashiro.The lunch we ordered at the front desk was an authentic Chinese meal prepared at the Chinese restaurant on the first floor of the hotel.I ordered a Chinese bento box and my partner ordered shrimp salt ramen, and both were delicious.After spending 3 hours in the middle of the day, I was healed and properly aligned.I had a good night's sleep and was able to relax and reset my mind and body.I would definitely go again.I think sauna hats and bath towels (to protect your face etc. from the heat) are essential.
