It was a day trip to the hot springs, but the cave bath was hot and nice. It's colorful and has a nice atmosphere, so I'd like to stay there next time.

It is a natural hot spring inn next to Daeseolsan National Park and Lake Nukabira, and even though it is May, there is still snow piled up nearby.There are numerous deer grazing around the road, so be careful of roadkill.The rooms have a nice irori atmosphere, and the rooms are very clean and have nice interior design.Meals are cooked with ingredients found nearby, so they are tasty and plentiful. In particular, the venison (behind the mountain) was so impressive that it still remains in my memory.The famous cave hot springs are available for private use and can be enjoyed by families.The hot spring temperature is high, and since it is not an open-air bath, your body gets hotter faster than expected, so it is difficult to stay in for longer than expected.If you enter during the day, the sunlight coming in from the window reflects on the hot springs, creating a spectacular sight, so I recommend going in the morning as well.

I believe that the eastern Hokkaido area is a treasure trove of food surrounded by Hokkaido's magnificent scenery and Mother Nature...I think it's a luxurious area where you can enjoy everything from dairy farming, agriculture, fishing, seafood, and Hokkaido's most famous sweets.And my favorite hot spring inn in Nukabira, Kamishihoro-cho, eastern HokkaidoSankoso, a mountain innThis is an inn with lots of things to recommend. The appearance is nice, and it has a lemon yellow-like yellow color.There is a famous cave bath around here that only those in the know know about. There are men's and women's baths (not very large), which can be reserved for private use at set times.It was dark inside and I was excited to enter the cave, thinking it might be like what a real cave would be like. The cave bath with a slightly hot source hot spring had a great atmosphere and was great.The interior of Sankoso is elaborately decorated, and the indirect lighting using umbrellas really stands out!I took lots of photos.There are 8 rooms in the building, and the rooms are very spacious and relaxing, with some of them being over 10 tatami mats in size and each with a hearth inside, which I was very impressed with.I could have set it on fire, but unfortunately I didn't do it because it was very hot in the summer.And I was able to spend a great time in the 6 tatami room with a futon.Meals are served on tables around the hearth, and the focus is on wild vegetable dishes.Furthermore, I am very satisfied with the food that is brought to me one after another.The charcoal fire in the hearth smells absolutely delicious even before you eat the boiled tofu made with our own hot spring water, skewered yamame trout, and stone-grilled herb beef! I couldn't get enough of it!My stomach is honest.The inn's hospitality includes a yukata of your choice, a basket containing stylish bath towels, and when it's time to eat, you can choose your favorite chopsticks from over 30 of them!I was able to spend a pleasant time. I would like to take care of you again.What do you think of this experience?I'd love to~

Used for day trip bathing.The water is flowing directly from the source, and even though it is artificial, it has a cave-like atmosphere 👌However, the steam was so thick that it was hard to breathe, so I couldn't stay in it for long. It's hot in the changing room and there's nowhere for the heat to escape.Colorless, transparent, tasteless and odorless gentle hot water

It's delicious, pleasant, and delicious.The shopkeeper's uncle looked like he was carrying a heated clay pot with his bare hands, but I wonder if he's a superhuman.

There is no toilet or bath in the room, but there is a cave bath, and there are toilets on the first and second floors, so there is no problem.The food is exquisite! Everything was delicious! ! ! The seasoning is generally gentle and good for the body! That's what it feels like!No children or young people came to stay, so I stayed calmly!
