Invitation to a Roten Buro (Outdoor Onsen-Hot Spring):
On a mountain slope approximately six kilometers (4 miles) away from our Shimaya Hotel,
there is an outdoor hot spring (Roten buro) with a great view.
It is called 'Tohmi-no-Yu (Hot Spring with a Far Away View).'
At the sunset the sky is painted crimson: The night view is fantastic around this time.
The air is so clear that you can see as far as 30 kilometers (approx. 20 miles) away.
To use this 'Tohmi-no-Yu,' there is a small fee:
600 yen for the Public bath,
2,500 yen for 50 minutes for the Private bath with a sauna.
Note: The Private Roten Buro requires an advance reservation.
This unusually beautiful outdoor hot spring will certainly give you an unforgettable
experience. We at the Shimaya Hotel are happy to make your stay memorable and will give
you a ride to the Roten Buro and will come to pick you up at your desired time.
