A nostalgic summer vacation at Misasa Onsen. Press the subtitle or CC button to enjoy full subtitles. Hello everyone, this is Watatabi. This time, I’m staying in a retro hot spring town nestled in the mountains of Tottori Prefecture. It’s a hot spring resort I’ve visited many times for day trips. Located in Misasa Town, located in central Tottori Prefecture, I’m heading to Misasa Onsen, a hot spring town lined with inns along the river and thriving as a therapeutic hot spring resort since ancient times. This is my fourth visit, but it’s my first time staying and filming here, so I’m excited. As I leave the town, the surrounding scenery becomes increasingly quiet and serene. Villages are scattered among the mountains, and I’m excited to see what kind of scenery awaits me at the end of this road. Speaking of Misasa Onsen, the nearby Mount Mitoku’s Nageiredo Hall is a must-see. Unfortunately, it requires a minimum of two people to enter the mountain, so unfortunately, I won’t be able to do so this time. So, I’d like to explore some of the spectacular views just a short distance from Misasa Onsen. I’ll be touring some of the more accessible views. First, we head to Mukaitaki Falls, located about 18km from Misasa Onsen. It takes about 20 minutes to get there. It’s really rural. The road continues straight like this. We’ll be there soon. Just 800m more. It’s about a 20-minute drive from Misasa Onsen. There’s a tunnel here. Is this the Mukaitaki Tunnel? There’s an old road next to the tunnel. There was a parking space here, so I parked there. The entrance to the waterfall is over here. I said it was an easy waterfall to see, but this one wasn’t at all. The next waterfall we’re going to is an easy one, so I hope you’ll just see this one and think, “Oh, there’s a waterfall like this.” The entrance to this waterfall is next to this electric pole. Yes, this is the entrance. Since no one’s going there, I’m not even sure if it’s a path. The waterfall is just down this slope, almost a cliff. Apparently, the waterfall is about 50m down this cliff. It’s quite close. I think that’s probably where the waterfall basin is. If we can just get down this cliff, we’ll be able to see the waterfall right away. There’s a broken, fallen convex mirror here. Please consider this a landmark for the entrance. Now, let’s go down. No, this is extremely dangerous! The tree may be rotten, so relying on it too much is dangerous. It would be better if we had a rope. Anyway, let’s go down to a safe place. We’ve reached a place with a better slope. We’re about 6 or 7 meters down from the previous entrance. Once we’ve cleared this distance, it’s easy to go down the rest of the way. Can you see the faint stairs here? They’re stairs, but maybe this was a tourist spot in the past. This area is safe now. All that’s left is to go down that far. That said, dead leaves are slippery, and these stairs are also quite slippery with dirt and dead leaves on them, so we’ll go down carefully. It ‘s safe now. It’s dangerous for the first few meters before the entrance. I think the rest is safe. There’s a chance of slipping, so we’ll go down carefully. We’ve come down. Wow! I only descended a little, but I had no idea there was such a difference in elevation. I could see the waterfall’s basin over there. I decided to take a look at what the waterfall was like. Once I reached the bottom of the valley, a completely different atmosphere permeated the air. The light filtering through the trees created a mystical atmosphere, and the sound of the waterfall drowned out the surrounding sounds. The untouched nature heightened my anticipation for the waterfall. The waterfall that appeared before me, Mukaitaki, had no drop or volume. However , the waterfall’s hidden power captivates without relying on sheer force. Its gentle flow conveys the passage of time and an unwavering presence. Surrounded by gigantic rock walls, I was overwhelmed, yet at the same time, I felt a sense of insignificance. It looked like this. It’s amazing. The drop isn’t that great, but the surrounding scenery accentuates its power. The wind in front of this waterfall was so cool and refreshing. The water looked like this, crystal clear and incredibly beautiful. It took less than five minutes from the base point. Actually, you can see the entrance, so it’s really close after you get off. My camera lens broke, and my hand is reflected in it. Terrible. It’s dangerous near the entrance, so if you go, proceed at your own risk. So, that was the waterfall. Now, on to our next destination. We’re back. It’s a really beautiful waterfall, but the entrance is tricky. Heading to our next destination. I had planned to visit three waterfalls, but if I just went to waterfalls everyone would think, “Another waterfall?”, so I decided to go to just one more. It’s a little far, but I’m heading to a waterfall near Hawai Onsen. It’s somewhere between Hawai Onsen and Misasa Onsen. Turn right at Hagoromo Ishibashi Bridge. From there, it’s straight. It looks like the waterfall is just beyond this village. We’re almost there. This is it. Ayugaeri Falls. There’s no parking lot, so I’ll park here. We’ve arrived. This is Ayugaeri Falls . There was a parking space over there, so I parked there. The entrance is here. This is the path, so if you go down it, you’ll soon reach the waterfall. It’s less than a minute’s walk, so let’s go and see it. I put on my rain boots just in case. Maybe it would be better to wear shorts and water shoes. I’ll put on my rain boots for now. By the way, this place is also about a 20-25 minute drive from Misasa Onsen. Hawai Onsen is right there. So close by is this mystical place. Wow! Amazing! The footing is a little rough, but as long as you’re careful, you’ll be fine. The waterfall is at the end of this little gorge. Can you see it? It looks amazing, isn’t it? It’s a place that doesn’t seem like it could have been formed naturally. It’s like a cut-through. You’ll need rain boots to get there from here. We’ve arrived. That’s the waterfall over there. There are a lot of spider webs around here, so I feel bad for the spiders… Wow! It’s amazing. It’s quite high. Even though it’s only a small gorge, it’s still quite impressive. And it gets really chilly from here on. This is about the limit. From here on, the water will probably reach waist height. It might be a good idea to wear a swimsuit, especially in the summer. It’s about 11 o’clock now, and the sun is directly overhead, creating a truly mystical atmosphere. Even if I went a little earlier or later, it would probably be very dark. So, I think it looks beautiful when the sun is directly overhead. There don’t seem to be any fish, but I took a photo of the water anyway. I took the photo with my smartphone, so it’s dark and the image quality is poor, but there were lots of small fish. The water looks murky in the underwater footage, but from above, it’s a beautiful, crystal-clear river. It was a more mystical place than I imagined. It’s only a one-minute walk, so if you’re near Hawai Onsen or Misasa Onsen, be sure to stop by. Now, let’s head back. Continue toward Misasa Onsen. There’s a rope, too. It’s perfectly safe without it, but it’s safer to use one. There’s also a kind of walkway here. It’s directly above the waterfall we were just looking at. We emerged directly above the waterfall . It wasn’t obvious from the other side, but it’s a two-tiered waterfall. It wasn’t obvious from below, but there’s quite a drop from where we’re standing. How high is it? It’s over 10 meters. Beyond the waterfall is a small river. Such a small river gradually grows larger. It really feels like the mysteries of nature. Now, let’s head toward the hot springs . It’s 15km from here, about 22 minutes to get there. It feels like we’re not in Japan. It’s a pretty impressive building. Is it inspired by China? Misasa Onsen has ties with France, so there are many Japanese and French flags along the way. First, let’s park in this parking lot and explore the hot spring town. By the way, parking here is free. It’s scorching hot, and incredibly hot. It’s so hot, there aren’t many customers walking around. From here, we enter the hot spring town of Misasa Onsen. As expected, there are no people walking around during this time of day. It’s very windy. This is a foot bath. Kajika no Yu. It seems to be open from 9:00 to 21:00. Misasa Onsen is a historic hot spring with over 850 years of history. It is one of the world’s most radioactive springs, containing high concentrations of radon. Radon is a weak form of radiation produced by the decomposition of radium. Exposure to radon stimulates metabolism, boosting immunity and natural healing. This is apparently the hormesis effect, and the cancer mortality rate among residents of the Misasa Onsen area is half the national average, providing strong evidence for the theory of hormesis. What sets this hot spring apart from ordinary hot springs is its rich mineral content, which is said to increase blood flow to the gastric mucosa when drunk. Inhaling the radon contained in the hot spring water is said to help remove free radicals, which are a cause of aging and lifestyle-related diseases. This hot spring town is enjoyable even for a day trip. While it’s far from the metropolitan area, there are excellent public transportation options, including trains and buses, from Tottori Airport. I crossed the bridge to get here, and this street is lined with accommodations. The retro hot spring town begins in the alleys behind the second bridge. There’s a Kajika frog here. Two bridges away, there’s a bridge called Koitani Bridge, and there’s a larger stone Kajika frog there, and stroking it is said to bring good luck in love. As a married man, I’m not interested, but my younger brother hasn’t gotten married yet… Actually, I should stroke the Kajika frog over there, but it’s far away and it’s hot, so I’ll stroke this frog instead. I hope he gets married… I hope he gets married… I’m not sure what it’s like now, but there’s a strip theater, and you can also enjoy shooting galleries and smart ball games. This is the inn I’m staying at. It’s far away and hot, so I’ll stroke this frog instead of my younger brother. I’ll introduce it to you later. My camera lens is broken, so light is getting in here. That’s the entertainment district. This vacant lot used to be a day-trip bathing facility called “Tamawari no Yu,” beloved by locals, but it’s gone now. While “Tamawari no Yu” sounds like a painful name for men, it’s said to have been named after the waters bestowed by the Bodhisattva. So don’t worry. The attraction was being able to enjoy 100% Misasa Onsen hot spring water at a reasonable price, but it seems to no longer exist. Bathing was available for 500 yen, and I’m not sure what time it was open at night. I think it was open until 10 p.m. I just looked it up, and it seems to have closed about two years ago. I found some alternative hot spring facilities listed online, but they were all expensive, costing 900 or 1000 yen. I’m on the other side of the bridge, and this is the “Kawaraburo,” the symbol of Misasa Onsen. It’s a mixed-gender public open-air bath that’s free to use 24 hours a day. There are still a lot of naked old men there, so I can’t get up close and take photos. You can enter for free like this. There are plenty of fish ripe for eating swimming in the river. I’m amazed they can enter such a completely visible open-air bath without embarrassment. I voluntarily regulated my bathing. There were a ton of customers. It felt great. There were three baths. One was at the front, and it was completely visible. There were two areas covered by fences, but the front was about 41-42 degrees, and the back was too hot to enter. I was surprised. I thought a woman had entered, but I quickly left… and it turned out to be a man in drag. I didn’t know something like this even happened. There were about three other elderly people there. I think women would be quite hesitant to enter. Gero Onsen also has an open-air bath, but women should be careful, as there are people taking photos with powerful lenses from high-rise hotels and inns. If you visit Gero Onsen after dark, you can easily see the camera flashes coming from the inn and hotel windows. There are always people like this around, so women should be careful. Crossing the bridge, you’ll find yourself in a retro alleyway. You can enjoy shooting galleries and smart ball games like this. This building looks like a strip theater. It looks like they’re doing plays. I’ve never been to a strip theater, so I’m not sure what it’s like. There are also snack bars. This is a candy store. This is a game center. Misasa Onsen Game Corner. There’s a stylish cafe-like place that’s really popular. There were a lot of people lined up inside. There’s an impressive sign. I won’t read it, though. This sign is also quite strange. Facing Tohoku is the Imperial Palace. And to the northwest is Takeshima. It says “Tohoku is the Northern Territories.” Is it okay to film this? I’ll refrain. There were a lot of surveillance cameras in front of the buildings, I wonder what they’re for. There are quite a few inns as well. This is another inn. This is a foot bath. It looks like it’s called Yakushi no Yu. This is Yakushido. There are a lot of windmills spinning. Is this only for the summer? Or maybe it’s just a windmill? It’s so hot I don’t feel like soaking my feet in it, but I’m here anyway. It’s so hot I can’t even stay in it for five seconds. What temperature is it? It’s so hot my feet are tingling. It doesn’t say the temperature of the spring, does it? It’s so hot! It’s so hot I can’t even touch it. Since I’m in a hot spring town, I wanted to take a photo of myself enjoying the hot springs, but it was too hot for me to get in. There are cups here, and it looks like you can drink the water. It’s an inn, but they sell things like this too. Over here, you’ll find “Kabuyu” and “Misasa Shrine.” This is Misasa Shrine. It looks like a shrine with a long history. It’s quite impressive. I noticed in a viewer’s comment that there’s a character called “Onsen Musume.” I’m not sure who she is, but apparently there’s a talk event at Misasa Onsen and Waii Onsen. Coming this way, it becomes more like a regular residential area than a hot spring town. There are no tourists here. Kabuyu, the birthplace of Misasa Onsen , is surprisingly deserted. This is Kabuyu. It seems to be the original hot spring of Misasa Onsen. Next to Kabuyu, there’s a foot bath, a stone statue, and a drinking fountain. There are several theories about the origin of the name Misasa Onsen, but one is that it was named “Misasa” because “by the third morning, illnesses will disappear.” There’s a bronze statue here, which tells the story of the discovery of Misasa Onsen. To put it simply, a warrior named Okubo Samanosuke, armed with a bow and arrow, encountered this white wolf on his way to Mt. Mitoku. He shot an arrow at it, but missed it. That night, Myoken Bodhisattva appeared and told him where the hot spring was. So, it seems the white wolf was an incarnation of Myoken Bodhisattva. There’s also a foot bath here, so I’ll check it out. It looks like this. This is a really impressive foot bath. I had no idea places like this existed. I jumped in with a lot of energy, but this one is lukewarm. Unlike the previous foot bath, it’s extremely lukewarm. This temperature is just right for summer. The temperature here seems to be 38.2 degrees. No wonder it’s so comfortable. It has the explanation of the hormesis effect I mentioned earlier. Since I’m here, I’d like to try this one too. This one is also lukewarm. It doesn’t have any particular flavor. It feels like drinking hot water. Of all the drinking springs I’ve been to, this one is the easiest to drink. It’s not so much easy to drink, it’s just hot water. It’s hot and thirsty, so I’ll hydrate here. So, starting from the inn district on the riverbank, there’s a retro entertainment district, and at the edge of the hot spring town is Kabuyu. This entertainment district isn’t open yet, so I’ll enjoy it again at night. There’s a souvenir shop. I wonder if they sell souvenirs or seafood? It’s a little hard to get in, so I won’t. There’s something like a convenience store here. This is where I’m staying. This inn was completed in 1932, and the main building, large hall, annex, west annex, and drum bridge are all registered as national tangible cultural properties. Entering through the entrance, this is the front desk. This is the lobby. Souvenirs are sold here. They have Tottori’s famous sweets like this. They also have alcohol. To get to the room where I’ll be staying tonight, go straight through the entrance and turn left. This is Gankutsu no Yu. It’s now the women’s bath. And this is it. Going down further, this is the room where I’ll be staying. Room 103, “Hisago.” This is a semi-private room. Let’s take a look. My luggage has already been brought to me, but I’ll start with this spacious space. This is my room. It’s a 6-tatami room like this. It’s a purely Japanese-style room. It looks like this. This door leads to the closet, and here they have prepared yukatas and bath towels. This small door is the safe. There are five safes. Each room has its own lock. This is what this room looked like. Next is this one. This one is amazing. As you can see, there is an open-air bath. There is a ceramic bath and a wooden open-air bath. I’ll take a look at the bath later. There is also a door on the right here. There is a sink and a shower room. This is the toilet. The toilet is extremely hot. The space feels completely different from the Japanese-style room. This one too has a modern, stylish sink that is completely different from the Japanese-style room we were in earlier. It’s amazing. It’s shiny, and I wonder how the water flows. It’s not like this, you have to do it like this to get it out. The sink looks like this, with clear foam for the face and hands and makeup remover. There is serum, lotion, and body cream. This is probably for men. There is hair tonic, face care milk, aftershave lotion, and shaving wash. This is a hair dryer. The sink feels stylish. The shower room looks like this, and is surprisingly small. Next is this room. This is the bedroom. It also has 6 tatami mats. It ‘s a Japanese-style room, but there’s a bed. This is the wooden open-air bath, and this is the changing room. There’s no air conditioning here either, so it’s very muggy. There’s a place to hang hangers here, and bath towels are provided. Let’s take a look at the bath. The bath looks like this. It has a ceramic bathtub and a wooden bathtub, but unfortunately, the plumbing is broken and it seems we can’t use it. What a shame. Inside, the wooden tub looks like this. It seems there’s a leak and the hot water won’t fill up. Unfortunately, we can’t use this one today, so we’ll enjoy the bath over there. Next is this open-air bath. It’s quite large. The wooden tub over there is small, but this one is quite large in comparison. It’s filled with hot water. I opened the lid and it’s large enough for about three people. There’s a hot water massage rod here. If you turn this, the hot spring water will come out. Apparently they add water here to adjust the temperature. The hot spring water is quite hot, so you can’t get in without adding water from here. There’s a shower here, next to the open-air bath. You can shower here without using the shower room. The open-air bath looks like this. And here’s a door. Is it okay to open it? I came out onto the riverbed. So, I can go outside. There were some sweets there. They prepared some cold green tea and watermelon for me when I checked in. It was super hot, but that watermelon brought me back to life. Is this the White Rabbit of Inaba? I think this is a famous Tottori sweet. Judging by the feel and the appearance in this photo, this is a chick bun. Let’s open it a bit. It ‘s not a chick bun, but a rabbit bun. It’s super cute. Looking at it head-on, it’s not a rabbit. It’s a frog. It doesn’t really look like a rabbit, but it’s a local specialty. I think the inside is probably white bean paste. Yes, it was white bean paste. You can probably guess what it is all about, right? I’ll try it right away. It’s incredibly delicious. It’s delicious, but it takes a lot of moisture away. This is the guide map of the museum, which has a complex structure typical of cultural properties. Rather than being complicated, it has a lot of stairs. There are small staircases in various places. But that’s what makes it so charming. This guest room is on the first floor, but the entrance is on the second. The front desk is on the left as you enter the entrance, and directly in front of that is the lobby and shop. The left side are the guest rooms. There are also guest rooms on the right, but if you go straight and go down the stairs at the end, you’ll find a hot spring called “Seseragi.” It seems to have an indoor bath, a cypress bath, and an open-air bath. Next to it is what I think is called “Kurugidokoro Yuan” (relaxing bath). I’ll take a look at that later, too. There are four guest rooms on the first floor, and one called Gankutsu no Yu. Gankutsu no Yu is the inn’s specialty hot spring , and it’s said to have thorium water. Thorium water is said to have the world’s highest concentration of thorium in 1948. You definitely have to take a bath. The third floor is the large hall, and this is the dining area. Room 301 here is apparently the best room in the inn. To the right of the large hall, the guest rooms continue in a continuous line. This Gakutsu no Yu bath is for women only from 2:00 PM to 9:00 PM. It seems the men’s bath is open from 9:30 PM to 12:30 AM and from 5:00 AM to 10:00 AM. It’s a shame to have to go in in the dark. Women need to enter by 9:00 PM, otherwise they won’t be able to use the Gakutsu no Yu bath. This inn also allows day-trip bathing. It seems day-trip bathing is only available between 4:00 PM and 8:00 PM. If you want to avoid the day-trippers, you need to enter by 4:00 PM. During day-trip bathing hours, the women’s bath is the Gakutsu no Yu bath, so men can’t use the Gakutsu no Yu bath for day-trip use. There are indoor baths, cypress baths, and open-air baths. You have to stay overnight to use the Gakutsu no Yu bath. Let’s take a walk around the inn. Below this is the Gakutsu no Yu bath. This is the smoking area. It’s incredibly spacious. This is the “Yudokoro Seseragi” bathhouse. The men’s bath is now “Seseragi” here. To the left of this is “Kurugidokoro Yuan.” This corridor is the Taikobashi Bridge, an Important Cultural Property. It looks like a bridge from the outside. There are massage chairs here. You can relax here. The river is right in front of you. The third floor is the large hall and guest rooms, so I’d like to see what the large hall is like when dining. Now I’d like to take a dip in the open-air bath in my room. The hot spring water was extremely hot, so I added water. It’s starting to feel nice, so I’ll stop. I think it feels pretty good, so I’ll go in. It’s just right. It’s great. Being able to bathe whenever I want is really nice. Maybe I’ll even be able to see the stars. I’m lying down right now, and it would be great to be able to see the stars like this. If it’s hot, I don’t feel like taking a dip in a hot spring, but having an open-air bath in my room means I can quickly return to my air-conditioned room, so I think it’s great. I’ve been really enjoying summer this year. This place is also an Important Cultural Property. It’s so spacious. The dining area is also incredibly spacious. This is an aperitif, apparently a carbonated yuzu sake mix. It has eel, and this one has egg tofu. It also contains shrimp and salmon roe. This one has jade eggplant, and underneath it is yuba. Since we couldn’t use the wooden open-air bath, they served us this Cassis Orange as a complimentary drink. We started with the aperitif. It’s quite strong… is that okay? We sip it slowly. Delicious! The eel is delicious! The jade eggplant and yuba. The yuba is melt-in-your-mouth! There’s no unnecessary seasoning whatsoever. It really brings out the flavor of the eggplant. The shrimp are huge! This is Oyama soba. It’s topped with grated yam, known as “nebarikko.” It’s cold soba. The broth has a hint of shiitake mushroom flavor. The soba itself isn’t particularly chewy, but it’s delicious. It’s very easy to eat. Then came the sashimi. We had tiger prawns, abalone, striped horse mackerel, medium-fatty tuna, and white squid. The meal plan was standard, so nothing particularly special. Oh, it’s delicious. It’s different from scallops. It has a nice texture, and the more you chew it, the sweeter it becomes. Abalone shells have such large shells, and they’re the only ones that can be harvested, so they’re quite rare. Striped horse mackerel. There’s a lot of fat floating on top of the soy sauce. It’s incredibly thick, so it’s very satisfying to eat. It’s delicious. It’s huge. It’s incredibly chewy. This is Tottori Wagyu beef teppanyaki. It looks delicious. The fat is just right. I think this is the best. I’m eating it with their homemade ponzu sauce. It has grated daikon radish in it. Just the right amount of fat. It’s very sweet and delicious. I wonder how they tell if something is delicious or not? Maybe they’re just taking a bite? Lol, I ended up leaving only the vegetables. This is a corn tempura bun. This one has winter melon and tomato. It’s topped with a white dashi paste. The white dashi itself is very mild. It’s creamy inside and crispy on the outside. It’s hard to describe the flavor. I was starting to feel like I wasn’t full, but the corn tempura bun filled me up to about 70%. This is a vinegared dish. The lemon is at the bottom, and the white thing is a scallop. It’s topped with myoga ginger, and the grunt is wrapped in cucumber. This is Tosa vinegar jelly. Just looking at it is so refreshing. It makes you feel like summer is here. Grunts are now in season, and they’re getting more and more fatty. When the surface of the grunt turns brown like a straw hat, it’s called “straw grunt” and is at its most delicious. The vinegar is quite strong. It’s strong, but the grunt balances it out. That sourness. And here’s the last dish: cool clam ochazuke. There’s chopped shiso leaves in the rice, so you can tell it’s delicious even without eating it. These clams are only from large ones caught in a pond in front of Hawai Onsen (I forget which one). The pond is a mix of freshwater and seawater, so the clams are a little salty. It goes with white rice, but you can have seconds . They also have pickles. The shiso leaves do a great job. The shiso leaves, however, overpower the flavor a bit. The shiso leaves obscure the flavor of the clams, which is delicious, though. The clams are a little seasoned . They taste like they’re soaked in sweet broth. Chilled chazuke is perfect for this hot summer. It’s quite light, but paired with the pickles, it’s just right. And here’s dessert: kiwi, melon, and pear. It’s a Kosui pear. Is it better to eat things in order of sweetness? I always wonder. For example, if you eat strawberries after something sweet, they’ll be sour. So, it’s better to eat the strawberries first. So, what should I do with melon, pear, and kiwi? It ‘s the eternal challenge of desserts. There are always individual differences depending on the fruit, so sometimes it’s not sweet, right? Sometimes kiwis are damn sweet. If they’re too sweet, then this eating order would be a complete failure. So I’ll start with the pear. But if the kiwi tastes sour… I’ll start with the kiwi! Damn! It was sweet. I told you so. Okay, let’s have the melon! What!? Pear! Pear! I mean, I don’t think melons are that sweet. Here we go! Sweetyyyy!!! So, that leaves the pear. No, this is the right answer! No, no! Definitely not! Have you ever struggled with the fruit problem that appears at the end of a staycation? I struggle with it all the time. I never know who to start with, or which is the right answer. It’s difficult. So, thank you for the meal, it was delicious. It might be a little lacking for men. In my case, maybe it wasn’t quite enough? But maybe if I had one more dish I’d be full? That’s what I felt. If it were my old self, it definitely wouldn’t have been enough. The food here is delicious, but the portions might be a little small for men. So, I’ll take a stroll around Misasa Onsen at night. It’s pretty noisy outside, so I’m not sure what to do. I’ll head over there. The “Curie Festival” was being held, a celebration to honor the legacy of Dr. Marie Curie, the discoverer of radium. It’s been years since I’ve seen a festival. Just walking around was fun. It was bustling with people, a stark contrast to the daytime. There were a lot of customers at the candy store! I bought a bunch of candy. It brings back some nostalgia. I remember really liking them and buying them. Was it really this small? lol. I bought a shake at this store. It’s called Misasa Yogurt. It’s a yogurt shake. It’s surprisingly light and delicious. There are a lot of prizes I’ve never seen before. The exciting 500-yen gacha. I wonder what I’ll get. There are a crazy number of customers. Apparently the fireworks are about to start, so I’ll take a look. I’ve come to a deserted spot. This bridge is packed with people. From the photos, it looks like the fireworks are supposed to go off from here, so I’ll have them all to myself in a secluded spot. The time comes, but the fireworks still haven’t launched. There’s something a bit restless about the time they’re launched. I’ll wait patiently. Ah, I see, the spot was a bit unlucky. Oh well. Lol, the spot was a bit unlucky. It’s almost over. It’s beautiful, but somehow it makes me sad. And old memories come flooding back like a slideshow. Is this what they call nostalgia? Even in the hot, dreary season, I long for it as the end draws near. The bustling beaches and festivals become quiet once summer is over. Humans are so selfish. Well, I’m one of them… Everyone here sees it differently, but I wonder how everyone else sees it? It gets hotter every year, but summer is still great. It’s amazing! I got goosebumps! I’m back. There were so many people. Now I’m off to take a dip in the Gankutsu no Yu bath. I took a bath at Gankutsu no Yu. This is a hot spring where posting photos and videos on social media is prohibited. There are three baths upon entering. In reality, there are four, including a small bath on the far left. I think the one on the far left is for children. From the left, there are two radium baths. On the far right is a thorium bath. I went in right after the men’s and women’s sections had switched, so it was all for me. No other customers came after that. I tried all the baths , but honestly, I couldn’t tell the difference apart from the temperature. Maybe it was because I went in at night, but the rocks were glowing blue, creating a very mystical atmosphere. The rugged rocks on the ground beneath the bath made it feel like I was bathing in nature. I asked about the temperature of the water while they were cleaning, and the water on the far right was 41 degrees. Apparently, the temperature changes depending on the day. Apparently, the temperature rises when the river floods. So, you can enjoy different temperatures every day. It would be a shame to waste it, so I’m going back to the open-air bath. It’s getting warm. Surprisingly, you can see the stars. Unfortunately, they didn’t show up on camera. This is so luxurious. My room is as messy as my own home. Well, I’m going to sleep. Good night. Good morning. Being able to enjoy an open-air bath like this in the morning is such a luxury. The sun is rising. It’s hot again today. Now, let’s head to the breakfast area. This is what breakfast looked like. Miso soup arrived. The rice seems to be a type called “Kinumusume.” This egg is huge. I had a second helping of rice. For dessert, we had banana and watermelon with yogurt. Thank you for the meal. It was delicious. This time, I stayed at the Ohashi Inn in Misasa Onsen. The food was delicious, and the staff were very friendly. I was n’t able to use the wooden bath here, and it’s an old building, so I suppose it can’t be helped, but footsteps and other sounds are very audible. This time, I stayed in the semi-special room. One night, two meals included, for two adults, it was 68,200 yen. What do you think? I got a small discount, but without it the room would have cost 85,000 yen. Now, let’s check out. This time we experienced Misasa Onsen and the summer festival in Tottori Prefecture. What did you think? The townscape is retro, and there are many tourist attractions, making it a recommended hot spring town. Why not give it a visit? Until then, see you in the next video! Thank you for watching until the end.
