Suikoen, a famous inn in Sumatakyo Onsen Village ③ ~Meal introduction~

Cunyouxia Hot Spring Cuihongyuan” Meal introduction。Since it is not a large-scale inn, breakfast and dinner are not buffet style.、It will be provided at the dining venue.。

The instructions are the same as in the previous article.、Regarding the location of the accommodation, see the previous article “Suikoen, a famous inn in Sumatakyo Onsen Village① ~Facility introduction~"Please refer to。

 

Dinner at “Sumatakyo Onsen Suikoen”

Dinner is kaiseki cuisine。A drink menu is also available.。Coffee at the dinner venue、There's no tea provided.。

Also、In the special room, the food will be upgraded automatically.。For example,、In a normal dinner, the wild boar is replaced with beef.。It seems that rooms other than special rooms can be upgraded as an option.。

Although it is kaiseki、There are quite a few dishes lined up at the beginning.。If you're at a slightly more expensive ryokan, they'll bring you each item one by one after you're seated.。As expected、It was cold😢

Salt-grilled amago。If you're staying at a ryokan in the mountains, you'll likely find sweetfish and rockfish.、this is rare。

Tempura and rice set。It feels like home cooking somehow。It doesn't look strangely like an inn.、Some people may say this is better.。

dessert。I'm grateful for the fruit as it is.。When it comes to water sweets, simple is the best.。

That's all for dinner、The amount was very large。Especially the beef shabu-shabu was so much that I couldn't finish it.。I didn't have time to enjoy the amago and tempura.、feeling of pushing into the stomach。Might be good for people looking for volume。

Now let's continue with the introduction of breakfast.。

 

Breakfast at “Sumatakyo Onsen Suikoen”

Breakfast was also prepared at the table.。It has a lot of root vegetables, so it's good for people who are particular about healthy eating.。The guests in the back seat were a group of elderly people.、I was happy that there were a lot of root vegetables.。Maybe it's for the elderly。

Drinks are self-service。This is nice。Rather than ordering each time、I prefer this style because I can drink as much as I want whenever I want.。so、My first coffee while staying in Sumata Gorge! It's been a while since I've had coffee, so I ended up drinking two cups.。There was coffee in Sumata Gorge too...

Self-service rice and miso soup。I'm happy。

This is what the dining hall looks like。A Japanese-style venue at a long-established inn。

The scene after all the other customers left。By the way, it was winter in December.、The heating was on so it was warm.。

 

Night view of "Sumatakyo Onsen Suikoen"

Since the number of characters in the article has decreased, I would like to conclude with the night scenery around Suikoen.。This is the front of Suikoen。There are already very few people on the streets.。

Symbol of Sumata Gorge。It's a sight you can only see if you stay overnight.。

There are almost no cars in the parking lot.。Chartered state

Only fluorescent lights are lit at the bus stop.。It seems like this is the only place where the lights aren't turned off even at night.。

Suikoen main entrance。It's nice to have a different atmosphere at night than during the day.。

 

This concludes the introduction to Sumata Gorge.。Although it is difficult to access、I think it's good to visit at least once in a lifetime.。It's a fairly famous tourist destination.、A trip to a hot spring in an unexplored area can be soothing for people who live in the city every day.。


 

Suikoen, a famous inn in Sumatakyo Onsen Village ② ~Room introduction~

Cunyouxia Hot Spring Cuihongyuan” is a ryokan that represents Sumatakyo Onsen.。10 Western-style rooms、Japanese Room 28、This is a small inn with a total of 39 rooms, including one Japanese-Western style room.。Until now, it felt like a good old established store.、I visited this time because I heard that it had been renovated and now has a special room with a large private hot spring.。The size of the room is 85 tatami (155 square meters).、It is spacious enough to accommodate 4 people.。

What's more, you'll be able to bathe in the hot spring water, which is rare at Sumata Gorge Onsen, so you'll be very excited! Regarding the location of the accommodation, please refer to the previous article “Suikoen, a famous inn in Sumatakyo Onsen Village① ~Facility introduction~"Please refer to。

 

Special room entrance

Go out to the courtyard from the front lobby、Go to the right at the end and the entrance to room 215 will be on your left.。The door is also new、It felt like a bit more space was allocated.。

As soon as you enter the entrance, you will find a table and chairs set up in the atmosphere of a reception room.。When we stayed, we mainly used it as a luggage storage.。There was no walk-in closet.、I think it would be nice to have this space。

Here is the minibar and closet。As you can see、Because it is not a walk-in closet、There will be no problem if you put your large suitcases etc. in the reception room which is adjacent to here.。

 

Living room & bedroom (Japanese-Western room)

This is the living space。This is a so-called orthodox Japanese-Western room floor plan.。Beds and Japanese-style rooms can be hidden with blinders.。I ended up not using the chair next to the bed.。

View of the Japanese-style room from the bed。This special room has a large courtyard, so when you open the shoji screen, you will feel an open feeling.。Another great point is that there are many Shigaraki ware raccoon dogs.。Also、It was convenient because there was a power outlet and USB power supply next to the bed.。

The welcome sweets are Sumatakyo Matcha Sando。It was delicious though、A little poor for a special room。I wanted a little more。so、Of course, smoking is prohibited in the room, so those with tobacco allergies can stay with peace of mind.。

 

Minibar & Closet

Back again to introduce the closet。We have almost everything you need。Yukata and Tanzen、tabi、face towel and bath towel。It's a shame that I don't have Samue, but I can't help it.。

Ah, that's right。One point to note。I would like people who are used to staying in luxury inns or special rooms to be careful.、In this room, one additional bath towel is free for each person.、After that, there was a charge (200 yen).。This and Shizukuhana in Tateyama on the Boso Peninsula in Chiba Prefecture were the only places that charged money for extra bath towels in rooms with open-air baths.。

Although、There are also bath towels in the powder room that I will introduce later.、I don't think you need to order more unless you use it too much.。About 3 bath towels and face towels were already prepared.、One additional card is free, so you can use up to 4 cards for free.。

The only thing in the fridge is water。Of course this is a service。There is no soft drink service in the refrigerator.、I think it can't be helped at this price.。

tea set and phone。very simple。Please note that there is no coffee or tea available.。It is also not available at the lobby lounge.、I can't even come out to dinner.。There is an all-you-can-drink option at breakfast.、I'll leave it to you until then.。If you need coffee or tea, feel free to bring your own.。

There is no Nakai, so it is self-service.。I poured the water myself from the water heater and drank it whenever I wanted.。

The phone is retro and interesting。I guess this is a deliberate attempt to keep an old-fashioned phone.。I think it was quite a high-end phone for those days.。

safe box。Type that opens and closes with a key rather than a PIN code type。It's a long-established store.。

 

Toilet & powder room

The toilet is very spacious。Latest washlet, not Japanese style。It's been properly renovated, clean and comfortable.。By the way, please note that there is only one toilet here.。Some rooms have two rooms of this size.。

There are two dressing tables。This is nice。Two people can use the service at the same time even during busy morning hours.。

Dyson hair dryer! This makes me happy!

The lotions were POLA and KOSE.。

Bath towels were also provided here.。We have everything you need from bare brushes to toothbrushes。

Click here for details。For women, from hair clips to bare brushes.、cleansing。The hair clip is sturdy and rare.。Shaving for men、bear brush、mouthwash、dental floss etc.。It's quite luxurious。

Bath towels and face towels are also here.。And a bag that was probably meant to be taken to the public bath.。This bag also contained a toothbrush.。Especially the number of toothbrushes was amazing.。I was surprised that there were about three dishes prepared for each person.。

 

Private open-air bath with natural hot spring water

Finally, we would like to introduce the open-air bath in the main guest room.。A spacious open-air bath with two pots。Moreover, it is fed directly from the source.。this is very satisfying。The water is a little hot, but、Because the water is flowing directly from the source, we recommend cooling it with hot water without diluting it with water.。

View when taking a bath。It's quite spacious so I think it can accommodate up to 3 people.。The condition in the photo is fully opened.、The window is a movable sliding door, so it can be closed.。There are wild monkeys around here.、Insects may come out on summer nights。I thought it was well taken care of as I was able to complete the deadline before going to bed.。

Amenities include tea shampoo and tea conditioner.。It's Shizuoka, after all.。

 

room courtyard

Courtyard next to the open-air bath。You can come and go freely。Being able to enjoy the majestic nature of Sumata Gorge all to yourself is a privilege only available in this room at this inn!

Shigaraki ware raccoon dogs are placed everywhere.。

various types of raccoon dog。

There was also a couple raccoon dog.。

 

This concludes the room introduction.。Please see the link below for prices。85I think this price is a good deal for 155 square meters of tatami!

Next time it's cooking。Introducing dinner and breakfast。


 

Suikoen, a famous inn in Sumatakyo Onsen Village① ~Facility introduction~

Now、This time we will introduce Suikoen, the most famous place in Sumatakyo Onsen Village.。Until now, Sumata Gorge did not have modern, spacious guest rooms.、It is said that Suikoen has been renovated and created a new top-class guest room.、I decided to stay overnight because it was a great opportunity.。

I think this is probably the most luxurious room at Sumata Gorge Onsen.、The price is much cheaper than luxury inns in tourist areas.、If you want to stay in a room with a reasonably large room and an open-air bath, I think Suikoen is a good choice.。

after、There aren't many hotels in Sumatakyo Onsen that use the water flowing directly from the source.。Suikoen also has a large public bath with circulation filtration.、If you want to bathe in the natural hot spring water, it's probably a private bath.、Or, it can only be experienced in this top-of-the-line suite.。If、It would be nice to have a bathroom in your room that you can bathe in without having to worry about it as many times as you like.。That's why I chose this place。

 

Map “Sumatakyo Onsen Suikoen”

For the general location of Sumatakyo Onsen, please refer to the previous article “Also famous for its Instagram photos! A rare station building built on the water、Unexplored “Okuoi Lake Station” also a sacred place of Yuru Camp△” etc.。

Suikoen is located at the entrance to Sumatakyo Onsen Village.。Guests can park in Suikoen's private parking lot.。You can understand this by looking at the scale of the map.、Sumatakyo Onsen is very narrow。You can go around in less than an hour、I think most of the sightseeing will be on the dream suspension bridge.。

 

Entrance of Suikoen

This is the entrance of Suikoen.。It's right across the street from the parking lot.。There was also a water wheel、The atmosphere of a long-established store。By the way, this scene was also broadcast on the anime "Yuru Camp△ Season 3".、It was broadcast as the inn where Nadeshiko and her sisters who met on the Oigawa Railway stayed.。

The entrance of the building is where the curtain is hanging.。Apparently they also offer day trip hot springs.、Non-guests can also stop by。I believe the day trip fee was 600 yen.。Bath towels and face towels are available for rental for a fee.、If you have saved money, bring it with you.。

Come to think of it, there was a Shikaoishi near the inn.。It looks like it belongs to Suikoen.。

 

Suikoen front lobby

Suikoen lobby。I don't have anything to drink, so、I don't think it will be of much help to you.。Ideal as a meeting place when visiting a hot spring for a day trip。

This is the front。Well, it feels like a normal inn.。Points are high for places that are properly barrier-free.。

Jidai-ya souvenir shop。The selection here is similar to that of a typical Japanese inn.。Recommended when buying Sumatakyo Onsen souvenirs。

 

Walk around Suikoen

This is the courtyard of Suikoen.。Each guest room at this inn is in a separate building.、It is designed to go in and out.。I visited in December, so、It was especially cold and hard at night.。Although、The Japanese-Western style suite room where I stayed was at the front desk.、Meal venue、It was relatively close to the bath, so I didn't feel it was that inconvenient.。

There are exhibits like this all over the museum.。This is an exhibition of old folk tools.。

There are various exhibits in this hallway as well.。

The gender symbols in the restroom were Japanese-style and interesting.。The coronavirus has already moved to Category 5.、Disinfectants were also placed properly.。

Game corner is not that big。As it is in Oigawa, crane games have Thomas prizes.。

There was also a vending machine。It seems that alcohol is also sold.。

This is the entrance to the bath。I'm glad that Kawane tea is all you can drink.。Even though the guest room had an open-air bath.、I've come several times just to drink this tea.。There are indoor baths and open-air rock baths.。night 20:00The genders will be swapped around。

The quality of the spring water here at Sumatakyo Onsen is extremely good, and it is not only effective for beautifying the skin, but also effective against diseases.。You might think that the hot water is colorless and has no characteristics.、When I entered, I was completely melted! It's so slimy that you can't open the lid of the plastic bottle.、I highly recommend anyone visiting Sumata Gorge to experience it.。

 

Next time, we will be introducing a special room with a private hot spring fed directly from the source at Suikoen!


 

Shizuoka's healing valley、Immerse yourself in the tranquility of Sumata Gorge ② Also a sacred place of Yuru Camp△

Continuing from last time, we will take a walk in Sumata Gorge.。This time, the main focus will be on the dream suspension bridge.。Regarding the walking map, see the previous article “Shizuoka's healing valley、Immerse yourself in the tranquility of Sumata Gorge ① Also a sacred place of Yuru Camp△"Please refer to。

 

To the entrance of the dream suspension bridge

A dream suspension bridge appears in the mountains。A little later if you come up here。

From here we will walk on a paved path where the scaffolding looks like it is made of aluminum.。By the way, during the busy season, there is already a long line from around here.。Even if you decide to come during the busy season, we recommend coming early in the morning.。This is what it looks like on a holiday morning during the off-season.。

The couple in front of you are just walking on the bridge.。Everyone took advantage of the empty space to take commemorative photos.。

We also took time to photograph the suspension bridge from various angles.。No one has already crossed the suspension bridge.。It seems that the capacity is 10 people.、Given the current timing, no matter how long we wait, it seems unlikely that 10 people will cross at the same time.。

This dream suspension bridge is basically a one-way street, so you can only cross from this side.。You will go around in a circle like this map and return to the original place.。

 

Let's cross the suspension bridge of dreams!

It's quite long if you look at it like this。The distance from the edge to the water surface is about 8m.。I think it changes depending on the water level.、It seems to be a guideline。Even if I fall, there is water below, so I think it will work out somehow.。perhaps……

I edited it a little。There are many colors like this in the pamphlet.。Depending on the day, it may become this emerald green.。

Let's cross the bridge。Viewing angle when crouching down。Only two wooden planks are for walking.。There is a place on the way where you can take 4 photos, so if you want to take photos, that's a good place.。

Scenery of the Sumata River seen from the suspension bridge。By the way, this Sumata River is a tributary of the Oi River.。The suspension bridge shakes quite a bit, so it may be scary for people who are not used to it.。Sometimes I could hear the screeching noises from far away.。

In the anime “Yuru Camp△ Season 3”, this place was compared to Hatanagi Suspension Bridge.。If you've experienced that, it's not scary at all.。The height and sway are completely different.。

I'll finish crossing soon。To cross it again, you have to walk around the Sumata Gorge promenade for several ten minutes.。It's a shame to leave behind。

 

After crossing the dream suspension bridge, walk around Sumata Gorge Promenade

Now、I finished crossing the suspension bridge of my dreams.、It's quite a walk from here。I think I'll probably use more physical strength than I did to get here.。

From here, climb the 304 steps.。There are rest areas along the way, so if you are not confident in your physical strength, take your time.。

A dreamlike suspension bridge seen from the middle。No one has crossed yet。

There are places like this along the way so I think it would be easy to take a break.。It seems to be a slope called Kurozaka.。From the name it seems like it will be difficult.。

I finally climbed 304 steps! From here, you can return to Sumatakyo Onsen Village via Hiryukyo Bridge.、Let's go to Ozakizaka Observation Deck.。100It's m.。

 

Ozakizaka Observation Deck

Arrive at the observation deck。Discontinued trains that are no longer in use are on display.。

Here is the view point from the observation deck。Now、Let's take a look at the scenery。

...... Hmm、subtle。You can't see the valley because there are a lot of plants in the way.。I was hoping to see the suspension bridge of my dreams.。

There is a toilet at the observation deck.。There are vending machines and benches, so if you're tired, you can take a rest here.。

 

Cross Hiryukyo Bridge to Sumatakyo Onsen Village

After leaving the observation deck and walking for a while, you will arrive at Hiryu Bridge.。Unlike the suspension bridge of dreams, this is a large road that cars can pass through.。General vehicles are not allowed to enter, so I think it is used by related vehicles.。

Sumata River seen from Hiryu Bridge。You can see the dream suspension bridge in the distance below.。If you look at it like this, you can see that it has gone up considerably.。

I tried to expanded。The scenery from Hiryu Bridge is much better than from the observation deck!

childish danger。After crossing Hiryu Bridge, just walk along the road.。

Finally, I returned to the starting point.。

There was a public phone。If you have any questions, please contact us here。It's hard to get radio waves, so having something like this would be very helpful.。From here, go through the tunnel you came from and head to the hot spring village.。It was already around noon, so、I passed by quite a lot of people。

Finally, the symbol of Sumata Gorge Onsen at night.。

 

The introduction to Sumatakyo Onsen's famous Yume no Suspension Bridge ends here.。Next time, I would like to introduce Suikoen, where I stayed the day before.。He also appeared in one scene in Yuru Camp△.。And this time, I booked a suite room with a hot spring that flows directly from the source, which is the only room in the inn, so please check it out!

Shizuoka's healing valley、Immerse yourself in the tranquility of Sumata Gorge ① Also a sacred place of Yuru Camp△

The next place we visited after Okuoikojo Station was Sumatakyo Onsen.。stay here for one night、The next day, we toured the Yume Suspension Bridge.。The inn I stayed at was Suikoen.、I'll write about that article next time.。Let's start with the suspension bridge of dreams。Since there are too many photos, I would like to introduce them in two parts.。

 

Walking map from “Sumatakyo Onsen Parking Lot” to “Dream Suspension Bridge”

It is about 2.5km one way from the Sumatakyo Onsen parking lot to Yume no Suspension Bridge.。From there, you will have to cross Hiryukyo Bridge and return to the original parking lot, so you will have to walk more than 6km.。Stroll around the hot spring village along the way、If you go to Sarunami Bridge, it may be about 10km.。If you are not confident in your physical strength, we recommend that you take a break and sightsee with plenty of time.。

Also、I stayed at Sumatakyo Onsen the previous day, so I left in the morning.。The Yume Suspension Bridge gets quite crowded.、Should I stay overnight at Sumata Gorge Onsen?、If that is not possible, it is best to arrive early in the morning.。It's relatively empty in the morning.、A lot of people will come in the afternoon, so。

 

Stroll around Sumatakyo Onsen Village

This is the parking lot of Sumatakyo Onsen.。I think most people start walking from here.。When it's crowded, the parking lot may be a little far away.、To avoid this, we recommend arriving early.。By the way, I stayed at Suikoen the day before, so I left my car there.。

There are some interesting objects at Sumata Gorge Onsen。This is a parent-child love frog。

This is the source of Sumatakyo Onsen.。Sumatakyo Onsen has very good spring quality.、Selected as one of the top 100 famous hot springs。The hot spring itself is colorless and transparent.、Is it because it is very alkaline?、It's so slimy that I can't even open the lid of the plastic bottle.。

Monkey avoiding illegal parking。When I was taking an open-air bath at Suikoen, a monkey came to visit me.。There are many wild monkeys

This is deer。Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see any wild deer this time.、If you're lucky, maybe you'll meet。

Oranges were sold along the way.。You can also get mandarin oranges in Sumata Gorge.。I thought it was only in warm coastal areas.。

Signboards like this are placed here and there in the hot spring village.。It's not that big so I think you can see everything in a short time.。

bus terminal。We recommend visiting before the first bus arrives.。That means it's in the morning。The greengrocer was suddenly thriving.。

There is also a post office.。There are public restrooms in Sumata Gorge, so don't worry if you are close to a restroom.。

If you go a little higher up there is a natural open-air bath.。There seems to be a barrel sauna as well.、Advance reservations are required for that.。

This is the entrance。Towels are available for rent for a fee, so if you want to save money, you may want to bring your own.。I didn't know that when I came here.、This open-air bath seems to have been introduced in the anime Yuru Camp△ Season 3.。If you are going on a pilgrimage to a holy place, please don't forget your towel.。

antelope statue。It's a natural monument。In that case, the deer from earlier might be an antelope.。By the way、The antelope's natural enemy seems to be deer.。It seems that the deer are entering the antelope's territory and eating up all the grass for food.。I watched it on Darwin Comes.。

There are also quite a few restaurants.。This may be the closest parking lot to the Yume Suspension Bridge.。In addition to the parking lot at the Sumatakyo Onsen entrance、There are several parking lots just inside from there.、I think it would be a good idea to discuss in advance where you want to go and where to park.。By the way, there is a parking lot near the open-air bath mentioned earlier.。

A footbath cafe called Haruko Uyomi。Looks like this place was also the setting for Yuru Camp△.。I should have taken more photos><

No cars can enter from here。I will walk and cross the gate.。

Admission to the Dream Suspension Bridge is free.、In this way, donations are being collected for environmental conservation.。Although there are few、I also made a donation。

Free nuts to take home。Children might like it

Guide map along the way。The round trip to Yume no Suspension Bridge will take approximately 1 hour.。It feels like it might take 2 hours if you go sightseeing slowly.。

Creatures that live in Sumata Gorge。Ah、After all, there are sika deer too.。I was lucky to see an antelope!

walk a path like this。Although it is a road, private cars cannot enter, so walk confidently in the middle.

There was a toilet on the way。If you are unsure, please take care of yourself.。

After walking for a while, there is a tunnel。It's a pretty long tunnel.。

After passing through the tunnel, there is a fork in the road。From here, take the path on the right to reach the Yume Suspension Bridge.。Turn around and come back from the road on the left.。Because the dream suspension bridge is a one-way street.。

go down these stairs。I feel like it would be quite difficult for people with bad feet.。

I will walk down a path that only one person like me can walk through.。It's almost time to reach the suspension bridge of dreams.。

 

That's all for this article。Next time, cross the suspension bridge of dreams、I would like to come around!
