As usual, before heading home, I started looking for a hot spring. One place caught my eye — Michinoku Reisen Yawaragi-no-Yu. It seemed a little mysterious, but I couldn’t resist checking it out.

I occasionally visit Iida and Komagane in Nagano for hiking and sightseeing. On my way back, I often take the local roads south to Hamamatsu, stopping by roadside stations along the way. One of the hot springs I had always noticed but never visited was Anan Onsen – Kajika no Yu. I had been curious about it, but I usually preferred soaking in a hot spring closer to Hamamatsu. This time, after my cycling trip, I decided to finally stop by and soothe my tired body.

That’s when they introduced me to Tatsunoyu Onsen, a brown-hued, warming hot spring in Higashi-Asahikawa. Naturally, I had to check it out.

Curious about a hot spring that serves a tiger pufferfish (torafugu) course meal using fish farmed in its hot spring waters, I decided to visit Fukuroi Onsen Yawaragi-no-Yu, which had been on my mind for some time.
