Hello, this is ISchannel.
Located in Hitachiomiya City, Ibaraki Prefecture, this inn is run by a member of the Japan Secret Hot Springs Preservation Association.It takes about 2 hours to get from Ueno to the nearest station, Yamagata-juku, by express train, and there is a shuttle service from Yamagata-juku Station to the inn. We would like to introduce Yunosawa Kosen, a hot spring located at an inn in the mountains of Okukuji, about 15 minutes by car.
The shooting date is December 27, 2023.
The location is 4.2 km from Yamagata-juku Station on the Suigun Line, and it takes 1 hour and 6 minutes to walk, so if you are staying overnight, please let us know the arrival train time at Yamakata-juku Station when making a reservation, and they will come and pick you up by car. .
From this prefectural road entrance sign, a winding mountain road continues. There is a tasteful signboard at the entrance from the mountain road. The mountains of Okukuji are cold, and the tropical banana tree planted at the entrance to the inn is withering.
When you go up the hill, you will reach the parking lot, and the parking lot looks like this. There is a pavilion in the parking lot, and the view from the pavilion is like this, and you can see a little of the golf course next door.
The building looks like this, it is a one-story building with no second floor. There is a price guide along the slope, and day trip bathing is also possible. The entrance looks like this, and you can feel the warmth of the wood and a somewhat nostalgic feeling.
On the left side is a lantern from the Japan Secret Hot Springs Preservation Society, and below it is an iron kettle hanging from a free hook.
Below that, there is a wooden bench and an ashtray, and to the left of the bench is a stone monument that says Meoto Ishiyu, which apparently describes the origin of Yunosawa Mineral Springs.
Although I can’t read the writing on the stone monument, Yunosawa Kosen has a history of more than 180 years, having opened in 1842 in 1842. He fell from a turret, and although he was examined by several doctors, he was not cured at all.One day, while he was sleeping, he received a message from God, so he dug in the spot indicated, boiled the water that came out, and went in, and he felt better. There is a legend that it was.
Above the plain red curtain is the certificate of membership of the Japan Secret Hot Springs Preservation Society. On the right side, there is a quaint sign written in an old font, and behind it is a Daikichi sign and a sign that says “We Are Open for Business with All Our Hearts.”
Let’s go inside. Immediately to the left as you enter, there is a large wooden shoe rack where you can store your shoes depending on the room you are staying in.
On top of the shoe rack is a wooden tengu mask and, I wonder where he got it, the old man’s tree signboard for Japanese sake from Morimoto Sen’emon Shoten in Mie Prefecture that catches my eye.
At the bottom right of the wooden signboard is a wooden shield with the title “100 Japanese Hotels and Inns Selected by Professionals”.
On the right side of the wooden signboard is a plaque that won 2nd place in the Ibaraki Prefecture 50 rooms or less category of the Jalan Net Ranking 2022 “Great Accommodation Award”.
On the left side of the wooden sign is a plaque that won 3rd place in the Class B Gourmet Championship sponsored by the Hitachiomiya City Chamber of Commerce and Industry in 2016.

Railway enthusiasts may have noticed that both the Moha 102 series Yamanote Line train and the Kumoha 101 series JNR train written on the train box are incorrect in type and vehicle, giving a sense of the loose Showa era. Masu.

Eight-inch pieces of locally produced sashimi konnyaku are served with yuzu miso. Seasoned with vinegar and miso. It is a jellyfish and mushroom salad.
Dengaku wheat gluten, salt-grilled mackerel, and Yahata rolls. The hotpot is a miso-flavored hot pot dish that contains a large taro, pork belly, carrots, green onions, burdock root, shimeji mushrooms, maitake mushrooms, and tofu. Since we don’t have Kirin or Sapporo, we start with secret beer.

Next, fried shrimp and tempura of wakasagi, ginnan, and shishito peppers are brought out. It’s an apple, a water confectionery. This stewed sweet potato hotpot is irresistible during the cold season.

茨城県の常陸大宮市にある、日本秘湯を守る会会員の宿で、上野から最寄り駅の山方宿まで、特急を使って約2時間で行けて、山方宿駅から宿まで宿の送迎車で約15分の、奥久慈の山の中の一軒宿の温泉の、湯の澤鉱泉を紹介します。撮影日は、2023年12月27日です。2年前の、2021年の11月12日も宿泊した時の動画を以前にアップしましたが、秋に宿泊した時のもので、重複する部分もありますが、冬に宿泊したものを、一から作り直した動画で、以前にお伝えできなかった、開湯の由来や、檜風呂の魅力や、この2年で館内の一部をリニューアルした模様も併せてお伝えします。撮影日は、2023年12月27日です。場所は、水郡線の山方宿駅から4.2キロで、歩くと1時間6分かかるので、宿泊の場合、予約時に山方宿駅の到着列車の時刻を伝えれば、車で迎えに来てくれます。県道の入口の看板からは、曲がりくねった山道をしばらく進むと、味のある看板がある入口があります。
入口の坂を上ると駐車場で、駐車場には東屋があります。建物は、2階部分は一切ない平屋です。建物の入口に向かう坂の途中に料金案内があり、日帰り入浴も可能です。入口は木のぬくもりと、どこか懐かしい感じが伝わってきます。入口に、夫婦石湯と書かれた石碑があり、湯の澤鉱泉の由来が書かれているそうです。石碑の字は読めませんが、湯の澤鉱泉は天保13年、1842年の開湯で、１８０年以上の歴史があり、源泉は、先代がお祭りの時に、太鼓を運んでいるときに高い櫓から落ちて、何人かの医者に診てもらっても全く治らず、ある日寝ていると神のお告げがあり、お告げどおりの場所を掘って、出た水を沸かして入ったところ、良くなったという言い伝えがあるそうです。
玄関を入ってすぐ左側には、大きな木の下駄箱があり、宿泊する部屋別に、靴を入れることができるようになっています。入ってすぐ右側には、だるまストーブがあり、時間帯によって、人懐っこい、愛くるしいワンちゃんがいます。玄関の右奥に帳場があり、帳場の前はロビーで、帳場の横は売店です。ロビーには、8人がゆったり座れるソファーがあり、ロビーの右側のガラスケースには、昭和40年代前後のおじさんたちには懐かしいおもちゃが、ガラスケースの中に飾られています。売店では、民芸品風のおみやげや食料品や地酒などのアルコールや飲料が並んでいます。風呂場にもある、秘湯シャンプー・秘湯リンス・秘湯ボディーソープも販売しています。
浴室の前にはマッサージルームがあり、コイン式のマッサージチェアが2台並んでいて、入って右側には、日本刀が飾られています。2つの浴室があり、手前は檜風呂で、奥は岩風呂で、時間で男女が入れ替わります。温泉は無味無臭で、ｐH7.9 泉温18.4℃で、泉質は、美人の湯といわれる重炭酸ソーダ泉で、神経痛・皮膚病・リウマチ性疾患・創傷などの効能があります。檜風呂は、東日本大震災で被災し、檜風呂の浴槽の半分が檜で、半分はタイル張りで復活し、見事に調和しています。檜風呂・岩風呂とも、張り替えたての天井はきれいで、高く解放感があり、木のぬくもりが伝わってきます。岩風呂は、野趣のある感じが伝わってきます。
浴室の前の廊下を奥に進み、階段を上ると、新館に続く長い廊下で、右側には、新館廊下絵手紙展と銘打って、絵手紙風の絵がずらりと飾られ、左側には年代物の骨とう品が飾られています。奥には3部屋の新館があります。
今回は、もみじの間に宿泊しました。2年前は狭かった広縁が増築されて広くなっていて、増築で広くなった分、冷蔵庫と洗面所が広縁に新しく置かれました。また、広くなった広縁に、テーブルが高めのこたつと、イスとソファーが置かれ、ゆったりとくつろげるようになりました。テーブルの上には、茶器のセットと、鍵と茶菓子、お客様へのお願い、日本秘湯を守る会の案内、アンケート、近隣観光地の案内、追加のお食事メニューが置かれています。冷蔵庫には、ブナ天然酵母を使用した、秋田で作られている田秘湯ビールが入っていて、夜食までのひとときに、風呂から上がると条件反射で、冷蔵庫の中の秘湯ビールの栓を、ついぬいちゃいました。
玄関の左側の松の間が食事処で、入ってすぐ右側には、カウンターがあります。入って正面の部屋は、テーブル席が中心で、奥の窓側の増築部分にも、テーブル席があります。入って左側はお座敷で、入口にはテーブルの囲炉裏があります。
夜食は会席料理になっていて、着座の時点では、すでに一部の料理が並んでいて、お盆の上には、小鉢・煮物・香の物と刺身醤油が乗っていて、左側には鍋物、右側には八寸が並んでいます。着座するとすぐに、御造里（刺身）が運ばれてきて、華やかになります。御造里は、山の中ですが、茨城県は海有り県なので、鮮度がいいです。御造里は、八潮マス・かんぱち・たこ・まぐろです。お盆の上の小鉢は、ぜんまい・こんにゃく・切干大根の田舎煮です。煮物は、ふろふき大根です。八寸は、柚子味噌でいただく地元産刺身と、酢味噌和えと、くらげときのこの和え物と、麩の田楽・鯖の塩焼き・八幡巻きです。鍋物は芋鍋で、味噌味で、大きな里芋と、豚バラ肉・にんじん・長ネギ・ごぼう・しめじ・舞茸ととうふが入っています。キリンかサッポロがないので、秘湯ビールでスタートです。しばらくして、焼物の、鮎の塩焼きが運ばれてきます。次に、中皿の、えごま味噌のかかったきびもちが運ばれてきます。次に、揚げ物の、海老フライと、わかさぎ・ぎんなん・ししとうの天ぷらが運ばれてきます。水菓子は、りんごです。追加料金で、ミニそばをいただけます。
朝食は、おかずが籠の中に入っていて、ミニサラダ・漬物・卵焼きと一緒にお盆に乗っています。籠の中のおかずは、納豆・マカロニサラダ・切干大根の煮物・きんぴらごぼう・焼いた鮭と生姜の佃煮と、金山寺味噌です。そして、ごはんは、自家栽培のコシヒカリを、おだがけの天日干しにした逸品で、地元の大豆を使った、こだわりの手作り味噌の味噌汁とともに、おかわり自由です。テーブルには、自家製の梅干しが、壺の中に入って置かれています。
チェックアウト後のおすすめプランは、山方宿駅を、10時11分発の郡山行きの列車に乗って常陸大子まで行き、ダイゴカフェという古民家カフェで、りんご屋さんのりんごゴロゴロアップルパイを食べると、奥久慈を満喫できます。
※4Kカメラで撮影し、4Kで編集しました。4Kディスプレイで、解像度も4Kに設定されている方は、細部まできれいに見えるかと思います。4Kディスプレイ以外でも、びっくりするほど大きく画質が劣化するわけではなく、そこそこきれいに見ていただけると思います。
※音を楽しめない環境下やナレーションが聞き取りづらい場合、日本語の字幕で対応しています。Youtubeの字幕機能をご活用下さい。
