Marumi Shokudo

Marumi Shokudo (まるみ食堂) is a long-established restaurant in Yakumo town, and was founded in 1958. A building is next to Yakumo station and they run an accommodation, too. I visited Yakumo, so I planned to eat Yakumo buckwheat noodles. However, in the first place I misunderstood about Yakumo buckwheat noodles. I thought that it was a kind of buckwheat noodles. Marumi Shokudo uses buckwheat flour produced in Horokanai. By the way, the Yakumo buckwheat noodles is a name of the restaurant. Read More

Kenichi Onsen Ryokan

Kenichi Onsen Ryokan (見市温泉旅館) is a small-sized long-established onsen ryokan surrounded by trees, and has opened a business since 1868, and is famous for looking over excellent view at an open-air bath. An entrance fee to a bath facility is JPY 500. A staying is possible, too, and abalone dishes have a good reputation.

There are 1 open-air bath and 1 indoor bath at a public bathhouse. The tiled bathhouse is not large, but the sunny bathhouse with large windows is feeling good. The indoor bath is the size that about 10 people can take a bath. 100% natural hot springs flow freely into the bathtub, and overflow to an outlet too. The indoor bath has a faucet for cold water, so it is allowed to add the water for lowering the water temperature. It is said that the indoor bath is very hot. But I enjoyed suitable water temperature.

The open-air bath surrounded by rocks is the size that about 5 people can take a bath. The Kaitorima River flows in fron of bather's eyes, and a sense of openness can be enjoyed. 100% natural hot springs are poured into a bathtub, and flow to an outlet. A pot is used as a bucket for some reason. The hot springs were too hot to me, and I was not able to take a bath only 3 seconds. Bad luck! The hot springs seem to be unsuitable for bathing depending on seasons or various situations. I do not blame the hot springs because of blessings of nature. In addition, cherry blossoms can be enjoyed in a spring, fresh green can be enjoyed in a summer, fall foliage can be enjoyed in an autumn, and snow can be enjoyed in a winter while bathing.

The hot springs are sodium chloride spring, and are opaque and light yellow and have salty taste and no smell, and are not drinkable unfortunately. The sum total of the hot spring ingredients are 5.106 g/kg. Shampoos and body soaps are provided at the bathhouse. A paid hair dryer is insalled at a dressing room, but there is not a restroom. You should get a wash beforehand at the restroom at a corridor.
