Lucky when I arrived the place was not too busy, so they let me take photos

On a hot summers evening, the cool breeze passes in nicely in this corner room

Narrow passageways, reminded me of Sen to Chiharu

Going upstairs?

Lots of character in the wooden structures

Interesting decoration on top of the building

Lots of atmosphere here with the buildings and people walking around in yukatas — Great atmosphere here with the buildings and people walking around in yukatas

Awesome onsen. Reminds me of Oedo Onsen in Odaiba only even better.

What a beautiful place. That is one thing that America lacks, thousands years of civilized culture.
