I used it in the sauna and BBQ.You can do a tent sauna and river dive in a forest rich in nature within an hour and a half from Tokyo.The river is also very clear, cool and pleasant.Above all, the owner is a sauna user, so the quality of the sauna is high.Also, the scent of aromatic water during ro-ryu is nice.I felt the sense of aroma selection.I had prepared a BBQ.You can enjoy BBQ as a side dish.It was filling and delicious.It was also possible to bring in whatever food you wanted to eat (meat, etc.)I was told that it is open all year round.Next time, I want to go during the fall foliage season.

It's about 5 minutes from National Route 20, so it's difficult to get there without a navigation system, but it's a nice place full of nature.I went there for the purpose of fishing, and the owner was very kind and conscientious.There seems to be a sauna along the river, so I'd like to go camping next time!As I was looking into the river, I realized the meaning of the name!

This is an evaluation based on bath use only.The usage fee is 800 yen. The price was about the same as that of a super public bath, but I was looking forward to going there because they said it had an open-air bath and a sauna.When I tried using it, I found that there was only a lukewarm indoor bath, the open-air bath was closed because there were wasps, and the sauna was closed because it was simply unavailable. *There is a sauna tent (charged), so are you stopping to use that?I want it to be written properly on the homepage.Also, most of the showers only come out with water (around 30 degrees Celsius?), so I'm sure you'll catch a cold in the winter from the cold showers and lukewarm indoor baths. please note.The good thing is that the hot water is good and a hair dryer is provided.
