Sato-no-yu **


The community center in buckwheat producing district.

Outline

Kanasago-cho is the hidden specialty ground of buckwheat noodles. There is little flat ground and it is the area where a low mountain continues. In the middle of the travel for eating the buckwheat noodles of Ibaragi, we came to the hot spring of Kanasago.

Impression

Although it is the simple bathroom of only a main bath, the green of mountains is visible from a big window. It is a pleasant temperature although the water is somewhat hot. My skin became smooth when I was taking a bath. Even if it asked the people of a reception desk, the nature of the water of a hot spring was not found. The water may be strong alkalinity.

There are two rest rooms. One is a room with the karaoke in which a local old person gathers. Another is the quiet room which is next door to an entrance. I looked at outside, sleeping on a tatami after bathing. I felt like being in the nostalgic country. It is the place which can settle down.

The Yamagata-cho course is a shortcut. But, when we visited, the course had closed.
