[Nigorikawa Onsen in Mori] Day Trip Bath Can Be Enjoyed at Caldera

Shineikan

Shineikan is a small-sized long-established onsen ryokan founded in 1900, and is a little far from Hokkaido Road 778. A building passed for nearly 100 years, and the appearance and the interior decoration are quite shibui. An entrance fee to a bath facility is JPY 400. They have 2 buildings, Old Building and New Building. A staying is possible, too, and it seems to stay a new building. A public bathhouse for men is a mixed bathing bath on the 1st basement of Old Building, and a public bathhouse for women is at New Building. The bathhouse for women is relatively new, so the bathhouse for men is popular for women, too. I think that women is hard to take a bath while men take a bath, so enjoy the shibui indoor baths if men do not take a bath at the bathhouse for men.

The bathhouse for men has been used for 100 years, too, and hot spring ingredients have precipitated on bathtubs and a floor of the bathhouse, and these are petrified. Fresh hot springs flow freely, and the floor changes to a river. That is amazing! In Japan, it will be a few onsen that there is the natural world at the bathhouse.

There are 3 indoor baths at the public bathhouse for men, and those indoor baths different in water temperature. The indoor bath with the hotest spring is the size that about 3 people can take a bath. The hottest spring was considerable hot, and I was not able to take a bath. Therefore I regulated temperature with water from a hose. Because modern bathing facilities are not installed, bathers may feel inconvenience, but the indoor baths are full of freshness and surprising. The others are the size that 1 pesron can take a bath, and the water temperature is suitable for bathing. A shower is not installed at the bathroom, so you must pour the hot springs on yourself to rinse off your surface dirt and sweat before entering the bath.

The hot springs are sodium chloride bicarbonate spring, and are a little opaque and light green and have a little salty taste and a little oil smell. Shampoos and soaps are not provided at the bathhouse, too. Because there is not a restroom at a dressing room, you should get a wash beforehand at the restroom along a corridor.

Goshiki-no-Yu

Goshiki-no-Yu (五色の湯) is a small-sized onsen ryokan along Hokkaido Road 778 in the center of the Nigorigawa Onsen. They do not accept reservations for rooms at present.

It is an opening sign that a gray vehicle parks on the side of the building. An entrance fee to a bath facility is JPY 300.

A public bathroom is a reserved bathing, and is not so large. But 100% natural free flowing hot springs are overflowing from bathtubs, and hot spring ingredients are piled up on the floor and the surface of the bathtubs, and those are very good feeling. I guess that onsen power is strong.

There are 2 indoor baths at the public bathroom. The one is the semicircular bathtub, and is the size that about 4 people can take a bath. The other is the rectangle bathtub, and is the size that a person can take a bath. This bathtub is nearer a hot spring source than another one, so the hot spring is too hot. Oil slick is formed on the surface of the hot springs. But she told me "Please do not enter the small indoor bath because it is not cleaned".

The hot springs are sulfur and sodium calcium bicarbonate chloride spring, and are opaque and light green and have metallic taste and oil smell. The hot spring seemed to be drinkable, so those tasted like mud, and seemed to be effective for Chronic digestive diseases, Chronic constipation, Diabetes, Gout, Liver disease and Constipation. Shampoos and body soaps for visitors are not provided at the bathroom, the visitors have to bring those. A shower is broken, so you must pour the hot springs on yourself to rinse off your surface dirt and sweat before entering the bath. There is not a restroom at a dressing room, so you should get a wash beforehand at the restroom at a corridor.
