Shizuoka, Japan｜湯ノ島温泉 玄国茶屋

I went today. I think the location is perfect, in the mountains. Bathing fee is 600 yen. There is a restaurant and souvenirs sold next door. Overall, it feels small, but I think it's a good place to relax. The hot water was slimy and slightly salty. The bath is very simple, consisting of an indoor bath with natural hot spring water and a cold water bath, but I think the view from the bath will be soothing. Today, Tenzaru Soba (large size 1045 yen) is served at the cafeteria. I received it. The rest area was spacious and I was able to relax.

The terrace seats look very comfortable as you can feel the greenery of the forest and the sound of the river up close. Unfortunately, the terrace was full. I ate Tenzaru Soba. It was a heart-warming soba that was full of the feeling of being hand-made. The tea was delicious too! The charm of Yunoshima Onsen is its excellent spring quality. This is a teahouse. Next time, I would definitely like to sit on the terrace. It's been 1 year. P.S. This time I had tempura and warm soba noodles. It takes time to make it by hand. I can feel the care and love that went into it, and I'm very grateful. Is it a crop that can be grown nearby? Vegetables (eggplant, green pepper, bitter melon, shiitake mushrooms, ginger, potatoes, etc.) 108 yen! I was so happy that I bought a lot of them. We recommend bringing an eco bag. lol

Before entering the hot springs, we had tempura soba and oden for lunch. It was warm and there was no wind, so I was able to sit on the terrace and enjoy the delicious food while looking at the clear water and the mountains beyond.
