1-2.Enjoy Steam Food at hotel,Ryokan

The above Facilities　are open to everyone.
You can experience “Steam Food, Jigoku-mushi” easily, but “waiting time” seems to occur,For example weekend.
For people who are not good at such congestion, I recommend a hotel or Ryokan with “Steam Spot(Jigoku-gama)”.

In case of “Yanagiya” I stayed at

Yanagiya has eight “Steam Spot(Jigoku-gama)” and Shared Kitchen.

I cut the vegetables in a shared kitchen and line up in the cage.

I did not care for anyone, I could relax and enjoy “Steam Food,Jigoku-mushi”.

2.Let ‘s take a walk through Kannawa Onsen area

I left the accommodation before 17:00 and came back around 18:20.
It is about 1 hour 20 minutes course.

Yumetake(Bamboo hot spring thermal cooling device)

The source of Kannawa onsen is high temperature, it is not suitable for bathing as it is.
If you water, “freshness” “quality” are sacrificed.
Therefore, they use chin and bamboo branch to cool.

Yu-kemuri(Steam)area

There are a lot of “hell” around the Yumetake, and Steam was blowing up steadily.

It seems to be a factory.

It was a big excitement

There is a scenic point when climbing a steep slope behind Nethu-no-Yu.

The shining building in front is popular as a pachinko parlor (bitter smile).

Yukemuri is coming up, and the electric wire directs the atmosphere of “Showa”.
