2. In the evening, in a yukata, shoot smart ball
A ping pong table is nice if it is in a hot spring hotel. It is a game arcade that you can not but go if it is in a hot spring area! Showa retro games such as shooting and smart balls are something that you want to enjoy in the yukata. Two or three game arcades are open only for a few hours on the street in front of Nishimuraya Main Building. You can play for a long time with a 50-ball, 200-yen smart ball for a long time, or the shooting can be heated to give a free gift depending on the number of dropped targets. By the way, the shooter's gift dropped by a total of 14 by the reporter and the photographer is a small glass chicken figurine. It is a memory of Kinosaki.
