Yumoto Meisuitei (湯元 名水亭)| Hot Spring Hotel | Kitayuzawa

Kitayuzawa is one of the famous hot spring areas in the southern part of Hokkaido. Today, we went to "Yumoto Meisuitei (湯元 名水亭)" to enjoy HUGE hot spring!

I love this stone garden♪ Great, isn't it? Let's enter the facility!

The vase is decorated on the stage at the lobby! My guests were so excited to take several pics!

We've also found samurai worriers' armors, helmets and cago carriers at the lobby! Wow! Wow! Wow!
 

We wish we could wear it............ Hahaha!

 First, we enjoyed lunch at a Japanese room↓

Kimono is used as a partition like this↓

Japanese calligraphy and a beautiful vase are decorated at an alcove! How elegant this room is!

Look at the ceiling! We really enjoyed Japanese atmosphere!

Today's lunch was this lunchbox including kokanee salmon sashimi that I really love! Yummy x 2!!!

We also enjoyed Jingisukan or lamb BBQ! Hokkaido remind us of this local dish!!!

After lunch, we enjoyed HUGE hot spring!!! Look at this↓ 1,100L hot spring water is being gushed up from the ground per min.! Unbelievable!!!

How about this HUGE outdoor hot spring!!! Do you have any idea how spacious this outdoor hot spring is??



The answer is about 500 ㎡!!!! It's like a park!!! Wonderful!!!


After taking hot spring, we walked around the hotel.
Osaru river (長流川) is in front of the hotel and we walked down to its riverside.

This river is famous for its riverbed!

Look at this! We really appreciated the green tuff! How beautiful it is!!!

Don't forget a foot bath!

This is also in front of the hotel!

We were so impressed with this abundant hot spring!!!

Wow! It's very looooooooooooooooooooooong!!! How many people can enjoy this foot bath at the same time??? Hahaha!!!

The water is transparent, not too hot nor too cold!

We really enjoyed this naturally alkali hot spring!
(*This facility is also famous for crab buffet.)
