I heard that Kayanuma was new, so I went to the pre-opening.The bath had some traces of the old structure,It was very beautiful and comfortable.I think my skin is smooth and the quality of the hot springs is very good.In the women's bath, the changing room is a little small and there aren't many washing areas, so I recommend avoiding it during busy hours.There was a free milk smoothie in the rest area, and it was very delicious.There was a deer in the parking lot, so I had to be careful when driving.

I used it for a day trip bath.It has become much more difficult to use compared to before the renewal.The entrance to the facility is designed to be difficult to enter, with trees placed at a height where you can hit your head. Bad impression from the entrance.There are few guides, pictograph signs, etc. inside the facility, and it's hard to even find the main entrance to the bathhouse, so a guide staff member is standing at the entrance.The lobby is just for show, giving the impression of being very cold.The bathroom also has a sauna and a cold bath, so the passageway is so narrow that it becomes impossible for a few people to pass through just by using the cold bath. There are three bathtubs, but there is no indication of temperature or even whether it is hot or lukewarm.The washing area was also very cold and my warm body felt cold.The changing room is small and the changing basket is small. The valuables compartment is a PIN type rather than a key, and the instructions are small, making it difficult for elderly people to use. The rest area is also less than half the size of before.Day trip bathing fees are also 700 yen for townspeople and 1000 yen for others, double the previous rate.Previously, the main customer base was day trip bathers in the town and nearby areas, but now the number of customers is likely to decrease.It feels like they failed in trying to revive a property that could have been used as a community-based property as a luxury accommodation facility.It was much better the way it was before.

Pon Ponyu has arrived!Relax in nature🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲I came here for a day bath!I didn't stay there so I don't know about the service or rooms.Hot springs on the shores of Lake SilaltoroThis is a new accommodation facility opened in September, and you can take a day trip to take a bath.There are 3 indoor baths, a sauna, and a cold bath.There is one open-air bath, giving you the feeling of being in the forest.A wonderful public bath in the forest, I want to come again.Please be careful on regular holidays.Check out the homepage!Good points·Since it is located next to a lake, you can feel the great outdoors from the open-air bath.·You can put it in hot water that flows directly from the source, or you can use lukewarm water. There are deep areas, shallow areas, and open-air baths.·There are water servers in the rest area and changing room, so you can drink freely.By the way, there is a shake at the rest area.·It is a relatively hidden gem with not many people, and the capacity is about 30 people, so you can take your time.- Strong showersubtle points·Since it's for guests, it's about the size of a public bath, and there's also a changing room, and the lockers with keys are only for valuables, probably because it's in nature.·Hot spring capacity is approximately 30 people.Because baskets are used, there is a limit to the number of baskets where you can put your clothes and belongings.·Maybe it would have been nice if the open-air bath and the large indoor bath were reversed? The indoor bath is mainly made of rocks, giving you a natural feel. An open-air bath is something artificially created. There's something in the center. Please come and check it out.·There are few places to wash your body, and the water drains into the center of the aisle instead of at your feet.When you wash your body, let the bubbles run away to clean it, you won't fall down, and others won't fall down either, so it's a win-win! Let's wash it off and clean it!·I wonder if there was grass next to the open-air bath? It smells like summerThere was a dead sparrow bee, so I might need to be careful in the summer.Don't forget that you are in the middle of nature.Based on the above, I gave it a 4.It's nice and quiet and there aren't many people.

The location and quality of the hot springs are good, and you may have your own preferences, but the building looks like Kengo Kuma and is beautiful. However, the bathroom is small (especially the changing room), there are no amenities, and the rest area after bathing is also small. Do you feel that 1,000 yen for a day trip bath is expensive? The view of the open-air bath and lobby is blocked by trees, so you can hardly see the lake. Maybe the scenery will change a little once the leaves fall?

The price doesn't match the bathroom. The hot spring itself is good, but the open-air bath was clearly designed like a mistake.There are chairs in the open-air bath, but when you wash the water over the chair, it all flows into the bath, making it dirty. There is a tree next to the open-air bath that sheds leaves so you can take a bath. Overall, the open-air bath is basically dirty.
