Famous tourist attractions in the Engaru are Chacha World (ちゃちゃワールド), Taiyo-no-Oka Engaru Park (太陽の丘えんがる公園), Ikoi-no-Mori Forest Park (森林公園いこいの森) and Ganbouiwa Rock (がんぼう岩). Speaking of tasty restaurants in the Engaru, Noborurin (のぶりん) at Yasukuni is popular in particular. I ate ramen noodle at it. It was so tasty.

List of Day Trip Onsen
Visitors can take a day trip bath at the Setose Onsen Hotel.
Setose Onsen Hotel
Setose Onsen Hotel is a small-sized onsen inn founded in 1956, and is famous for 100% free flowing hot springs with smooth and slipper touch. The appearance and the interior decoration have an atmosphere such as the Showa period, and visitors may savor the atmosphere of secret onsen, so tourists liking new facilities is not suitable for this inn. An entrance fee to a bath facility is JPY 600. A staying without meals is possible, too.
There is 1 indoor bath at a public bathhouse. The tiled bathhouse is not so large, but I felt as if it is a good old Japanese Sento because of a high ceiling. In addition, it has a good atmosphere of slightly darkness.

The gourd-shaped tiled indoor bath is set in the center of the bathhouse, and is the size that about 8 people can take a bath, and uses 100% natural free flowing hot springs, and the hot springs overflow from the bathtubs in succession. I enjoyed looking at the situation. Water temperature is relatively lukewarm, so it is suitable for taking a long bathing. By the way, the hot springs are used as hot water of faucets at wash places.
The hot springs are simple hot spring, and are clear and colorless and have neither taste nor smell, and have very smooth and slippery touch because of high alkaline (ph 9.3). The sum total of the hot spring ingredients are 0.154 g/kg. Drinking hot springs have no effect, but the visitors can drink the hot springs at a resting place. It tasted very mild texture. A lot of the visitors carry a plastic tank with the hot springs back for a fee. It is rare to use the hot springs as Engaru Taiyo-no-Oka Beer (えんがる太陽の丘ビール).
Shampoos and body soaps are provided at the bathhouse. A restroom and a paid hair dryer are installed at a dressing room.
