Of course the next part of the first part national treasure appreciation is a hot spring. Although the place name of Bessho has not appeared, the hot spring here is also listed as a hot water to go in Japan in “Makura-Soko”, and it has been a well-known hot water in Bessho. The quality of the water you care about is that of a weakly alkaline hot spring with a pH value of 8-9. Since the pH value of the sarcophagus is about 7 to 10, it seems that just bathing in a hot spring in another place will make the skin smooth and the metabolism active.
Hot water of topic from 1400 years loved by the Warring States warlords
There are three outdoor baths, and there are anecdotes of people related to them, such as Jikan Daishi, Enoki, Kijima Yoshinaka and Hojo Yoshimasa in each bath. The photo is said to be the hidden water of the Sanada clan "Sekiyu"
Speaking of which, a mother who met at a laundry, shared among the residents of the city, remembers that he taught me that the condition of the dirt is that hot spring water is the best. The skin of the mother who was talking so was also shining shiny from morning. This raises expectations.
This is the only place in Japan where there is a laundry area exclusively for residents using hot springs! A mother who works hard on laundry from 6 am
Extravaganza in a high ceiling bath
The establishment year of the flower shop is 6 years. It is the first ryokan built in Nagano Prefecture, and about 80% of the buildings are designated as cultural properties.
Currently, there are 15 ryokans and hotels in Bessho Onsen, but this time I stayed “Hanaya” in the 101st year of business. It is a historic ryokan that started from the Jiujiba and established the first sales style as a ryokan in Nagano.
Young grass bath, one of the three baths in the hotel. Fresh spring water has a slight sulfur smell
There are three hot spring baths where you can enjoy the hot spring at the source. In the Taisho era when the ryokan was completed, a bathroom made of marble that was imported from Italy is equipped with a bathroom that uses Izu stone that is difficult to cool in hot water, and an open-air bath for men and women. Transparent, smooth and perishable hot water is comfortable. Because the ceiling is high and the light is fully inserted, we recommend that you take a bath once in the daytime.
The wind blowing in the corridor is also comfortable

When you get out of the bath, you will be guided through some of the rooms that boast "Hanaya". "This year's remnants of the samurai residences have been rebuilt. The history of the Edo period has been added, and it has become even more solid," said Iori Takeuchi, the accommodation manager.

The dining room is a retro-Japanese, Western-style space, as there are rooms where floor carpenter's hand gestures such as wood carvings and delicate shoji pieces are displayed everywhere.

There are rooms with different tastes, because each gathered, saying, "If a florist carpenter would use these building materials." "You can not continue without being prepared to inherit Japanese ryokan culture," Takeuchi said. The vaulted corridor connecting the bathroom to the room is also affected by rain and snow. Still, I am stuck with this open structure because there is no substitute for the feeling of the wind blowing on the body after bathing. I left the lodging, hoping that this building would continue for 100 years.

Well, time still remains until the train on the way back. I decided to finish the trip by experiencing the famous outdoor hot spring that another place is proud of. What we entered was "Stoneyu", which is related to the Sanada family. The temperature of the hot water here is 43 ° C in summer or winter! Stones are combined, and it may be the hottest among the three outside hot spring in another place. "It's not a bad idea. The locals will stop here after entering other hot water. The baby will enter at this temperature here," said the lady of the stand. It is also fun to go around the hot spring area to hear such stories.
