Discover Onsen

Introduce Arashi no Yu A deeper look into inside of Arashi no Yu. You'll get to know the place a bit better, such as what items you should bring and how to make the most of your time there! They give you "samui," which is a type of Japanese yukata clothing that you can wear during your visit. Additionally, they offer two different sizes of towels and a watch that you can use to time your sauna sessions. It's recommended that you spend a maximum of 10 minutes in the sauna at one time for the benefit of your body. Therefore, visitors often alternate between using the sauna and resting in the indoor or outdoor relaxation spaces, repeating the cycle multiple times over at least 2 hours (though of course depends on your own feeling.. 🙂)to fully relax and rejuvenate their body. In terms of sweating, this stone onsen / sauna is impressive (with a “mere” 50 Chinami911 temperature), can barely stand it for 10 minutes and really need that water for replenishment!💦 We highly recommend bringing own water bottle! There’s some salt you can put your water and also you can get “water bottle point” from them. If you collect 5 points then you can get a free sauna ticket😉 #♨️ #温泉 #源泉 #溫泉 #온천 #thermae#japaneseonsen #onsen #japanonsen #discoveronsen #japanhotsprings #japanhotspring #hotspringinjapan #hotspring #hotsprings #onsenlove #sauna #japansauna #loveonsen #温泉好きな人と繋がりたい #嵐の湯 #岩盤浴 #薬石 #天然温泉 (at Yokohama) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp7zEX9vMjM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Arashi no Yu Yokohama🪨♨️ This location is known as the "Stone Onsen". In our previous post, we shared a reel of Arashi no Yu, and today we would like to share some photos of this beautiful place with you all! ❓What is "Arashi no Yu"? The floor is covered with a thick layer (25 cm to 50 cm) of 15 different types of medicinal ores, which are a mixture of mountain, river, and sea ores. The minerals from the medicinal stones and natural hot spring ingredients are infused into the bathroom as a "nano mist", which creates an experience similar to a hot spring without the use of hot water. ❓What are the on your body? The nanoparticles of ore and hot spring minerals are effectively absorbed by the body, while the large amount of sweat released during the process helps to eliminate harmful toxins from the body. ✅The heat source for Arashi no Yu is warm water, and as such, there are no electromagnetic waves involved. Additionally, Arashi no Yu does not use any tap water. 「嵐の湯」とは🪨♨️ 前回ご紹介した"石温泉"について、 今日は写真と共に詳しく施設をご紹介していきます！ ❓嵐の湯とは？ 岩盤浴施設内のフロアに、山の鉱石、川の鉱石、海の鉱石、混合15種類の薬鉱石が、混ざった状態で25㎝～50㎝ほど厚く敷き詰められています。 薬効石のミネラルと天然温泉成分をナノミストとして浴室内に充満させた「湯のない温泉」です。 ❓得られる効果は？ ナノ粒子になった鉱石・温泉ミネラル分がスムーズに体内に吸収され、大量に流れ出す汗と共に有害物質を体外に排出します。 ⚠️熱源は温泉水で、もちろん電磁波などありません。嵐の湯は水道水は一切使用しません。 ホームページより、お借りした内容を用いてご紹介させていただきました！ 次回は、我々の体験も載せさせていただきます🙋🏻‍♀️ #♨️ #温泉 #源泉 #溫泉 #온천 #thermae#japaneseonsen #onsen #japanonsen #discoveronsen #japanhotsprings #japanhotspring #hotspringinjapan #hotspring #hotsprings #onsenlove #loveonsen #温泉好きな人と繋がりたい #嵐の湯 #岩盤浴 #薬石 #天然温泉 (at 嵐の湯 横浜) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpxKa33PG_S/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Chiyotaki Ryokan / Higashiyama Onsen ♨️ Today's post is of the entrance area in Chiyotaki ryokan. There are nice souvenirs shop where they are selling quite a few different Aizu-nuri tablewares. Some are lacquerware which are traditional to Aizu area in Fukushima Prefecture (the third and the last photo 📸). Also, Fukushima is well known for its Japanese sakes🍶 and Aizu sake is famous for its delicious taste. The reason for this is that the region is blessed with delicious rice, good water, and a favorable climate. You can enjoy a various types of Japanese sake in Fukushima and they are great for souvenirs 😉 千代滝旅館の、お土産売り場や、日本酒コーナーをご紹介します😉 福島は、日本酒が美味しいと有名な県です。 その理由は、会津盆地が良い米、水、風土に恵まれたことが影響しているそうです🍶 また、福島会津地区の伝統工芸である、会津塗りも有名です😌 それら福島を代表する、酒と会津塗りの両方を楽しめるコーナーが、千代滝旅館のエントランスには用意されていました！ 是非お土産にいかがでしょうか😉 #♨️ #温泉 #源泉 #溫泉 #온천 #onsen #discoveronsen #japanhotsprings #japanhotspring #hotspring #hotsprings #温泉好きな人と繋がりたい #japanvisit #japaneseculture #東山温泉 #winterwonderland #Fukushima #千代滝 #chiyotaki #kutsurogijukuchiyotaki #visitjapanjp #traditionaljapan #japancrafts #omiyage #fukushimasake #ryokan #japaneseinn (at 会津東山温泉　くつろぎ宿　千代滝【Kutsurogijuku Chiyotaki】) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpIJR2cPgOa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A private onsen in Chiyotaki We shared the private onsen's reel on the 10th February post with more detailed information. Here though we are sharing few additional detail shots of the onsen ♨️ くつろぎ宿千代滝さんの貸切風呂について、前回のリール動画でご紹介した内容ではお見せ出来なかった、お写真を投稿します♨️ 脱衣所エリアもお掃除の行き届いた素敵な貸切風呂でした！ #♨️ #温泉 #源泉 #溫泉 #온천 #onsen #discoveronsen #japanhotsprings #japanhotspring #hotspringinjapan #hotspring #hotsprings #温泉好きな人と繋がりたい #japanvisit #japaneseculture #東山温泉 #winterwonderland #Fukushima #千代滝 #chiyotaki #kutsurogijukuchiyotaki (at 会津東山温泉　くつろぎ宿　千代滝【Kutsurogijuku Chiyotaki】) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpC9kLrvG_8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Central Higashiyama Onsen♨️ This area, and ryokan seen on the photos, can be really considered the central area of Higashiyama Onsen. The ryokan is called Mukaitaki and seems to be quite old and a central piece of Higashiyama Onsen. Near this area there also outdoor “foot onsen” which are great for warming up the spirits (that is if can get them winter boots and socks off 😌). 東山温泉の中心街に位置する、向瀧温泉さんの前で撮影した写真です。 近くには足湯もあり、素敵な景色と温泉を、外からでも楽しめる場所です😌 #♨️ #温泉 #源泉 #溫泉 #온천 #thermae#japaneseonsen #onsen #japanonsen #discoveronsen #japanhotsprings #japanhotspring #hotspringinjapan #hotspring #hotsprings #onsenlove #loveonsen #温泉好きな人と繋がりたい #japantravel #japanvisit #visitjapan #visitjapanjp #stayandwonder #discoveronsen #bestjapanpics #東山温泉 #higashiyamaonsen #福島 #fukushima https://www.instagram.com/p/Co2C52EvDYk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Winter Mountains of Higashiyama Onsen ♨️🏔️ At the end of Higashiyama Onsen town, just a few kilometres deeper into the mountain valley, sights like these greet the adventurous spirits. This time must admit we were fortunate to have had such a moody winter weather to paint beautiful landscapes like this. Truly beautiful when the dark of the trees and water come together so well with white of the snow and low hanging clouds 🙂. #♨️ #温泉 #源泉 #溫泉 #온천 #thermae #hotspring #japantravel #visitjapan #visitjapanjp #japanculture #stayandwonder #discoveronsen #bestjapanpics #visualsoflife #discoverjapan #createtoexplore #lovers_nippon #goexplore #amazingjapan #onsen #JapanRevealed #VisitJapanUS #bestphoto_japan #higashiyamaonsen #aizuwakamatsutravel #fukushima (at Aizuwakamatsu Fukushima japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CokM0jxPS-u/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Cozy Interior of Shintaki Few interior shots from the Shintaki ryokan in Higashiyama Onsen. These are of the lounge area next to the robby. There are some old furniture pieces and other warm wooden elements that give off a cozy atmosphere. Also, there is a free drink bar (fruits juices, water, coffee) with some candies!! It's a really nice service that does not come across too often (especially coffee, which should be a must everywhere).😉 新滝旅館のラウンジをご紹介します😌 趣ある家具が配置された落ち着く空間に、 フリードリンクスペースが用意されていました。 コーヒーや何種類かのフルーツドリンクなどがあり、ちょっとしたおつまみのサラミや、チョコレートも無料で提供されていました！ #♨️ #温泉 #源泉 #溫泉 #온천 #thermae#japaneseonsen #onsen #japanonsen #discoveronsen #japanhotsprings #japanhotspring #hotspringinjapan #hotspring #hotsprings #onsenlove #loveonsen #温泉好きな人と繋がりたい #japanvisit #japaneseculture #東山温泉 (at 東山温泉) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoXFpbrPE1y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Japanese buffet Shintaki Ryokan breakfast is a buffet style. They offer several types of dishes (Asian and Western). We chose Japanese style traditional foods as seen on the third photo, e.g. many "Tsukudani (佃煮)" that go well with rice. 🍚 Tsukudani is very traditional Japanese food which usually boiled in soy sauce and we can use various ingredients such as a mushrooms, bamboo shoots, beef, cucumbers and etc. They are simply put on top of rice randomly and compliment each other nicely. That's why we call Tsukudani as "ご飯のお供 (Gohan-no-otomo) " which means "go with rice" or "friendly for rice"😀🙆🏻‍♀️ 新滝さんでいただいた、朝食をご紹介します。 眺めのいい席がたくさん用意されていて、雪景色を楽しみながらいただきました😌 ブッフェスタイルの朝食は、自分の好きなものを少しずつたくさん食べれるのが、魅力的ですね😉 #♨️ #温泉 #源泉 #溫泉 #온천 #thermae#japaneseonsen #onsen #japanonsen #discoveronsen #japanhotsprings #japanhotspring #hotspringinjapan #hotspring #hotsprings #onsenlove #loveonsen #温泉好きな人と繋がりたい #japanvisit #japaneseculture #東山温泉 (at 会津東山温泉 くつろぎ宿 新滝【Kutsurogijuku Shintaki】) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoRat_yvGYu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Higashiyama Onsen, Kutsurogijuku Shintaki ♨️ Higashiyama Onsen has a long history, said to date back as far as 1300 years. We had the pleasure to visit this area at the start of this year and there is quite a lot to see and do. Tucked away in a valley, it feels secluded but at the same time just a 10 minute drive from Aizuwakamatsu city. Will share more sights and info of the area. These photos here show the exterior and some of interior from a "Kutsurogijuku Shintaki" ryokan. Very nice place for a visit and cant wait to share more 🙆🏻‍♀️ 福島県会津若松市にある東山温泉は、約1300年前に発見されたとされる、歴史ある温泉街です😌♨️ 2023年のスタートは、この東山温泉にある「くつろぎ宿 新滝」を訪れました。 内装がとても素敵な旅館で、自分に合った枕を選べるなど、サービスも豊富でした😆 詳しくは次回の投稿で！ #♨️ #温泉 #源泉 #溫泉 #온천 #thermae#japaneseonsen #onsen #japanonsen #discoveronsen #japanhotsprings #japanhotspring #hotspringinjapan #hotspring #hotsprings #onsenlove #loveonsen #温泉好きな人と繋がりたい #japantravel #japanvisit #visitjapan #visitjapanjp #stayandwonder #discoveronsen #bestjapanpics #福島 #fukushima #新滝 #東山温泉 #higashiyamaonsen #shintaki (at 会津東山温泉 くつろぎ宿 新滝【Kutsurogijuku Shintaki】) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoEK5x0PTP2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Where's the Ryokan Here are some photos that you can use as hints to guess where this place is.. granted that is not much to go on 😌. All of these are from one ryokan and with these interesting art works we start showing a new onsen area, here's to the next chapter of discovering onsen! ♨️ こんばんわ🧖 魅力的な四万温泉を、楽しんでいただけましたか😉？ 今日から新しい温泉地の紹介が始まります！ 写真は、これから紹介していく旅館様で撮らせていただいたものです。 皆さん、どこかわかりますか😊 #♨️ #温泉 #源泉 #溫泉 #온천 #thermae#japaneseonsen #onsen #japanonsen #discoveronsen #japanhotsprings #japanhotspring #hotspringinjapan #hotspring #hotsprings #onsenlove #loveonsen #温泉好きな人と繋がりたい #japantravel #japanvisit #visitjapan #visitjapanjp #stayandwonder #discoveronsen #bestjapanpics #福島 #fukushima (at 福島県) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoAGf36v-S3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Okkirikomi ✨ A noodle dish in which wide/flat noodles made of wheat (udon) are stewed with vegetables and mushrooms that happen to be available in the house (traditionally, use what is around 💁🏻‍♀️).. and miso (or shoyu). It is said that the name "okkirikomi" comes from the dough being rolled around a rolling pin and then the dough is slightly "cut" (kinda surface level). In 2014, it was selected as an intangible national cultural asset. We visited Sousuian (蒼水庵) in Shima Onsen, which specializes in okkirikomi. All seats have a small IH heaters for cooking. There are some steps to cook it (simmering time, when to add ingredients and etc..), but the restaurant's owner is really nice and a friendly man, he teaches all the steps involved, so no worries there😉 In the end, even if "deviate a tad", you will still have a very delicious and likely slightly personalized dish 🤤 今日の投稿は、四万温泉にある蒼水庵さんでいただいた「おきりこみうどん」についてです💁🏻‍♀️ 群馬の郷土料理である「おきりこみうどん」は、2014年に民族文化財にも選ばれており、幅広な麺はのどごしも良く、とても美味しかったです🤤 蒼水庵さんのオーナー様が、とても気さくで丁寧に接客してくださり、おきりこみうどんも美味しくいただけた上に、素敵なお話をたくさん聞くことができました😌 皆様も四万温泉を訪れた際は、是非、蒼水庵さんへお立ち寄りください✨ #♨️ #温泉 #源泉 #溫泉 #온천 #thermae#japaneseonsen #onsen #japanonsen #discoveronsen #japanhotsprings #japanhotspring #hotspringinjapan #hotspring #hotsprings #onsenlove #loveonsen #温泉好きな人と繋がりたい #japantravel #japanvisit #visitjapan #visitjapanjp #stayandwonder #discoveronsen #bestjapanpics #蒼水庵 #四万温泉 #traditionaljapanesefood (at Shima Onsen) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnzMWQbPT3d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Ryokan Bounty A selection of “kaiseki” (traditional multi-course Japanese dinner) at Morimata Ryokan. In previous posts we talked about money-to-quality aspect of the place (which is great!) and the kaiseki was super delicious👌Though slightly less than in somewhat more expensive places (then again this might fluctuate a fair bit as well). Some of the offerings are shown here: miso soup, cooked wild salmon, fresh tuna, rice (staple), and some tsukemono (preseved vegetables). Never really had a bad experience with kaiseki, and in fact it's something to always look for during ryokan visits (other than the obvious onsen ♨️😊). 旅館での素敵な体験の一つ🌅 懐石料理は温泉へ滞在した際の、楽しみの一つですね。前回の投稿でも少し触れましたが、旅館はお手頃に泊まれる所から、お値段はしますが、特別な体験ができる場所など、様々です。そんかあらゆる旅館がある中で、いつでも期待を裏切らないのが、「懐石料理」の体験です😊 もりまた旅館でいただいた、朝食の写真をご紹介します♨️ #♨️ #温泉 #源泉 #溫泉 #온천 #thermae#japaneseonsen #onsen #japanonsen #discoveronsen #japanhotsprings #japanhotspring #hotspringinjapan #hotspring #hotsprings #onsenlove #loveonsen #温泉好きな人と繋がりたい #japantravel #japanvisit #visitjapan #visitjapanjp #stayandwonder #discoveronsen #bestjapanpics #もりまた旅館 #四万温泉 (at もりまた旅館) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnt_gqgvLam/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The White Roof, Shima Onsen ♨️ Some traditional architecture and older sights from Shima Onsen. This area really is quite interesting and has a lot of old, forgotten and traditional, new mixed up. Not too much to see, but enough for a day or two when properly mixing outings with relaxing onsen visits 🙂 四万温泉の街を散策しているときに、歴史を感じさせる建造物や、ノスタルジックな雰囲気が漂う建物など、たくさんの印象的なものを目にしました😌 今回はその雰囲気を味わっていただけそうな写真をご紹介します。 温泉を楽しむだけでなく、温泉街の歴史や周辺の建造物の歴史的背景などもご紹介できるように頑張ります😉 Some hashies💁: #♨️ #温泉 #源泉 #溫泉 #온천 #thermae #japaneseonsen #onsen #japanonsen #discoveronsen #japanhotsprings #japanhotspring #hotspringinjapan #hotspring #hotsprings #onsenlove #温泉好きな人と繋がりたい (at Shima Onsen) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnjjwgTvPlO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Shima Onsen ♨️ Well, not quite done yet with the Shima Onsen area 😌 This area has ton of nice and great ryokan to visit.. unfortunately (or rather fortunately) most were left unexplored but good to always go back for more! Other than that ryokans there are a few jumping onsen as well as shown in previous posts and here on the 3rd image.. though it was closed when we were there. 四万温泉♨️ 残念ながら（というか幸運にも！まだまだ四万温泉を楽しめます☺️）未踏の旅館も多いですが、四万温泉は車でとても行きやすく、いつでも行ける場所というのも魅力の一つですね😉 前回の投稿と、今回の3枚目でご紹介している写真のように、日帰り温泉や公共温泉もありました！ 公共温泉は閉まっていたため、今回は断念しましたが次回は挑戦したいです😉 #♨️ #温泉 #源泉 #溫泉 #온천 #thermae#japaneseonsen #onsen #japanonsen #discoveronsen #japanhotsprings #japanhotspring #hotspringinjapan #hotspring #hotsprings #onsenlove #loveonsen #温泉好きな人と繋がりたい #japantravel #japanvisit #visitjapan #visitjapanjp #stayandwonder #discoveronsen #bestjapanpics https://www.instagram.com/p/CnUZG8mvLSd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Morimata Ryokan, Shima Onsen ♨️ Few more shots from the Morimata Ryokan. This place has one of the best quality to price offerings, especially considering its location right in the famous Shima Onsen (during Christmas the cost per person with dinner and and breakfast was around just 9000 yen). The place also had a renovation done 2 years ago and truly feels fresh with modern touch. Since it has only 5 rooms, it is also very popular among larger groups or for people who enjoy longer and quiet stays. Truly great ☺️ 皆さんこんにちは😊 今日は四万温泉のもりまた旅館について、前回ご紹介できなかった内容について、もう少しシェアしたいと思います😄 当旅館は、朝も夜もお食事はお部屋だしとなっております。通常お部屋食を提供している旅館の宿泊代は値がはりますが、もりまた旅館様は一泊一人約9000円で宿泊でき、貸切露天風呂も堪能できます☺️ 全5部屋の旅館のため、内風呂が混雑することも極めて少ないです🥳 ご興味がある方は、是非訪れてみてください😊 More details at their homepage: 📍 morimata.com #♨️ #温泉 #源泉 #溫泉 #온천 #thermae #hotspring #japantravel #visitjapan #visitjapanjp #japanculture #stayandwonder #discoveronsen #bestjapanpics #visualsoflife #japanhotspring #discoverjapan #ryokan #createtoexplore #lovers_nippon #goexplore #ig_vision #amazingjapan #shima #onsen #JapanRevealed #VisitJapanUS #bestphoto_japan #morimataryokan (at Shima Onsen) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnFI-FjPtPc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
