    Nagano Suwa-gun Shimosuwamachi
    One of nine public bathhouses located in Shimosuwa Onsen. The waters of the bathhouse' sulfate spring and chloride spring are said to treat such ailments as burns, nerve pain, and cuts. Legend has it that the bathhouse was built in the Kamakura period for an ascetic monk visiting the Jiunji Temple. The bathhouse has three tubs which are overall on the hot side, the hottest being 47°C. Accordingly, bathers are recommended to acclimate their bodies by first bathing in the relatively lukewarm waters of the outdoor bath. The bathhouse does not offer free shampoo, conditioner, or soap, etc., but these items can be purchased at the attendant's booth. You can also buy bath towels here, so there's no need to worry if you forget your own.

    激熱の風呂がある「旦過の湯」です。あまりの熱さにちょっと笑ってしまった。 熱めの風呂は比較的好きですが、この「旦過の湯」はちょっと強烈でした。 大きく3つの風呂があるのですが、一番熱い「劇熱風呂」の温度は52度ほどあるらしいです。さすがに私には厳しく、「劇熱風呂」にはじっくり入れませんでしたw。 ちなみに、ほかの二つはのお風呂は良い感じに入ることができました。 入浴料は240円とリーズナブルなので...
