Impression

The road was congested as we went to Sapporo from Obihiro via the national highway No. 247. Then, we dropped in here. The site is large and the building is quite old.

The hot spring is an ordinary public bathroom except a sauna. It is regrettable that there is no open-air bath. Water is a simple sulfur cold mineral spring, and is heated. Since the bathtab was widely vacant, I have been happy-go-lucky. The shampoo is also prepared.

Although it is a little old institution, probably, it is good to use when you get tired with driving.
