Of the six baths you can visit at Shima Onsen Shima Tamura, this time I'd like to introduce the open-air bath Mori no Kodama 🌳♨️!!! Personally, this is my favorite place in Shima Tamura 🤤 No matter how many times I go, I never get bored and it's a place that heals me every time ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ♨️Open-air bath Echoes of the forest 🌳 While bathing in the forest 🍃 You can enjoy the sound of the river and the chirping of the birds while bathing in the hot spring. This is the perfect hot spring for those who want to feel nature ♨️ This is my favorite bath at Shima Tamura, but it is always crowded no matter when you go, so I think it is probably the most popular bath!!! (Bath) It is very spacious and can hold about 15 people 🙆♀️If you want to see the waterfall while bathing, it is better to bathe on the right side of the bath for a better view!!! (Water) It is 41-42 degrees, and it feels hot at first, but once you get used to it, it is a temperature that you can continue to stay in ~ Since it is an open-air bath, even if it gets too hot, it is recommended that you bathe in the hot spring several times by taking a half-body bath or taking an open-air bath!!! (Other) There is no washing area, so you should use Iwane no Yu or the large bath, which have washing areas. We recommend washing your body in the hot spring in your room before heading out 🍃 ———📍Access①Train🚃&Bus🚌Pattern🚃JR Express Kusatsu Ueno - Nakanojo Station Approx. 2 hours🚌Kanetsu Kotsu Nakanojo Station - Kirinokihira Approx. 30 minutes👣6 minutes walk from the nearest bus stop ②Direct bus🚌Pattern🚌Ikaho-Shima Onsen Tokyo Station or Keio Hachioji Station - Shima Tamura Approx. 4 hours 💰PriceOfficial website reservation, 1 night with 2 meals for 2 people from 30,000 yen (from 15,000 yen per person) 🕰️Business hoursCheck-in 15:00-18:00Check-out ~11:00——— #HotSpring2024 #ShimaOnsen #ShimaTamura #HotSpring #HotSpringTrip #Gunma #GunmaTourism

Of the six baths you can enjoy at Shima Onsen Shima Tamura, this time we will introduce the beautiful skin bath Iwane no Yu ♨️!!! 〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜 ♨️ Beautiful skin bath Iwane no Yu 〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜 (Water) Of all the baths at Shima Tamura, this is the closest to the source, so the water is hot and it tingles a bit on the skin, I think it was about 43 degrees 😂 (Washing area and bath) There are four washing areas, and the bath is large enough that about six people can comfortably fit in, and there is a Gomusou no Yu and a garden open-air bath. Like the potholes, it was in a remote location, so it was nice that it wasn't too crowded!!! (Other) There are also two waterfall baths and a steam bath with a hot spring source, and the waterfall bath was just right for stiff shoulders and back🙆♀️ The waterfall bath is hot, but when you put it on your shoulders, it gradually warms up and feels loose, which is nice~ The steam bath with a hot spring source is like a steam sauna, so it's recommended for sauna lovers!!! ———📍Access①Train🚃&Bus🚌Pattern🚃JR Limited Express Kusatsu Ueno - Nakanojo Station, about 2 hours🚌Kanetsu Kotsu Nakanojo Station - Kirinokihira, about 30 minutes👣6 minutes walk from the nearest bus stop②Direct bus🚌Pattern🚌Ikaho-Shima Onsen Tokyo Station or Keio Hachioji Station - Shima Tamura About 4 hours 💰Price: From 30,000 yen for 2 people with 2 meals and 1 night reservation on the official website (from 15,000 yen per person) 🕰️Business hours: Check-in 15:00-18:00 Check-out ~11:00——— #Hotspring2024 #ShimanOnsen #ShimanTamura #Hotspring #HotspringInn #HotspringRyokan #IndoorBath #HotspringTour #Gunma #GunmaTourism

Shima Onsen Shima Tamura has 6 baths that you can enjoy, and we will introduce 2 of them: Cypress Bath Gomuso no Yu and Garden Open Air Bath Pothole!!! ~ ... Gomuso no Yu This is my second favorite bath among the ones you can visit at Shima Tamura!!! My favorite bath is called Mori no Kodama, and it's the best because there is a waterfall flowing in front of you and you are surrounded by greenery 🥲 I will introduce it in another post!!! This is a cypress bath, so you can bathe in the hot spring while being surrounded by the nice scent of cypress 🌲 It is large enough for about 6-8 people, and both the moment when the light shines in and the moment when it sparkles, and the moment when you bathe in the dim light at night, both have a great atmosphere and are very nice 🙆♀️ The water is a little hot at about 42 degrees, so you can't stay in it for long, but I recommend alternating between the potholes next to it!!! ♨️Garden open-air bath pothole ... It is next to Gomuso no Yu, and since it is an open-air bath, you can cool off while you bathe, so we recommend alternating between Gomuso no Yu and Gomuso no Yu♨️ It is a garden open-air bath with the motif of Shima's tourist attraction, the "potholes," and is surrounded by greenery and rocks, so you can enjoy the hot springs while feeling the nature!!! The bath is very spacious at the back, and it looks like it could fit about 8-10 people~ The water was outside, so it was a comfortable temperature of about 40 degrees!!! If you want to visit all the baths, we recommend checking in at exactly 3pm when check-in begins🙆♀️ ———📍Access①Train🚃&Bus🚌Pattern🚃JR Limited Express Kusatsu Ueno - Nakanojo Station About 2 hours🚌Kanetsu Kotsu Nakanojo Station - Kirinokihira About 30 minutes👣6 minutes walk from the nearest bus stop②Direct bus🚌Pattern🚌Ikaho-Shima Onsen Tokyo Station or Keio Hachioji Station to Shima Tamura About 4 hours 💰PriceBook on the official website, 1 night with 2 meals for 2 people from 30,000 yen (15,000 yen per person) 🕰️Business hoursCheck-in 15:00-18:00Check-out ~11:00——— #Furitabi #Shima Onsen #Shima Tamura #Hot spring #Hot spring inn #Gunma sightseeing #Hot spring trip #Cypress bath #Rock bath #Open-air bath
