20171012The first place I arrived after loading my punctured bicycle into my car was Furusato Center Ryuchan-no-Yu, located at the foot of the mountain where I bungee-jumped the Ryujin Suspension Bridge.I arrived more than an hour earlier than the jump reservation time, so I thought I'd have lunch and take a bath before jumping, so I came here first (^O^)Inside, in addition to the bath, there is also a restaurant, conference room, and rooms where you can stay overnight.The baths are separated by gender and change daily: 1 indoor bath + 1 sauna, Momiji no Yu, or 1 indoor bath + 1 open-air bath, Sakura Yu.It's a small bath, but combined with the peaceful scenery around you, you can relax and relax! (^O^)At the restaurant, we chose Ryuchan Yuzen, which is limited to 20 meals a day. I never expected to be able to enjoy delicious sashimi in such a mountainous area. The Hitachi beef meat rolls were well seasoned and very delicious (^-^)/If you make a reservation in advance, you can try your hand at soba making and konnyaku making. It is truly a hot spring facility that is closely connected to the local community!Needless to say, after bungee jumping, I received a free bath ticket along with my certificate and went back to the baths. Also, I got permission from the staff to park the car, and from here I rode my bicycle up to Ryujin Suspension Bridge again (quite tiring (;´Д`) hahaha), and then from Ryujin Dam and Ryujin Lake to Ryujin Suspension Bridge. I even looked up!Relax your mind and body at Ryuchan-no-YuIt’s warm \(^o^)/♪

It is located a short distance from National Route 461 onto Prefectural Route 33. There is a parking lot in front of the building.The fee was 1,000 yen on weekends, but 700 yen after 4 p.m. Shampoos are provided. I visited on a weekend evening and it was empty.There are nine washing areas, including an indoor bath and an open-air bath.The indoor bath is clear, colorless, and odorless. Apparently they are boiling spring water. A refreshing bath feeling. The temperature felt around 41-2 degrees, and the space was large enough to accommodate 5-6 adults.The hot water in the open-air bath is almost the same. The space is large enough for about 3-4 people.It warmed up nicely.

Early morning through at Takahagi Country Club 🏌️‍♀️⛳️I went to see Ryujin Ohashi Bridge and took a bath♨️.It opened at 10am, so I went there around 10:30am and there were no other customers, so I was able to work up a sweat.The washing area was large, there was an open-air bath, and the food was delicious.I was a little disappointed that the fee had changed to 1,000 yen for people from outside the city, but the staff were nice ⭕️

I received two bathing tickets for using the campsite, so I used them. I liked how simple it was. The receptionist also seems kind. The temperature of the hot water was just right and felt good. From next month, it seems that bathing tickets will not be included when using the campsite. But I'll go take a bath even if I pay. I'm glad it's less than 1000 yen in this day and age.

This time, I only used it for food.I ordered the Tenzaru Soba for 1,200 yen, but the handmade noodles were chewy, and the sauce was good, and the two shrimp tempura were plump and filling. The garland chrysanthemums were crispy and really delicious.I want to take a bath the third time next time.

It was floating in the hot spring, so I picked it up in a bucket. There were also a lot of stink bugs in the bathroom and changing room.The lockers are low and difficult to use.No matter which locker I use, I feel like someone can see me undressing, even through the mirror, which bothers me.

This is the reception area for the campsite next door.If you make a reservation on a separate website, you can receive a free bathing ticket. This service will be available until the end of March 2024.Taking a bath after camping feels so good!
