Every week since 30 years ago, it is drawing almost indispensable. It is also pasted on the dressing room.
The lobby is cozy as at home.
On the showcase of bathing goods such as shampoo and soap, I found the signature and photograph of Aya Ueto in 10's.

Founding of Hotta Yu Showa 23 (1947) year.
My husband, Mr. Isao is the second generation.
It is said that in June last year it was closed for one month due to earthquake-proof construction, correcting the distortion of the beam near the ceiling of the bathroom.

The hot water reputed as soft is boiled well water with firewood. The wall of the boat hall is brick built with seasons, it seems to be from before the war.
Every morning, the lady guard sweeps and it is the master 's job to turn on the fire.
While looking at the chimney that started to climb the smoke, I'm likely to be proud, saying, "I do not burn if there is not a chimney."

In winter, making a potted pot in a pot and acting as a customer is a poetry.
It seems that there are also cases where you ordered red rainbow from Kyushu.

Well, back inside.
The outdoor bath is located on the left side facing the front desk.
Because men's bath and female hot water are changed for one week, we recommend you to check on the homepage of Horita-yu before going.

When you enter the bathroom, you jump into your eyes, a vivid cherry blossom tile picture in front.
It was convincing that it was used for shooting fashion magazines.

The tile painting on the right bathroom is Ukiyoe in Utagawa Hiroshige "Senju Ohashi Bridge".
While watching Shibu ~ I painting, traveling to Edo is also dangerous.
I also recommend genuine-oriented chemicals. You float an orange on the net, and dried your wormwood that your husband has taken and finely chopped yogoto.
It seems that the water bath is also popular.

And there was a door behind the left hand, a big open-air bath!

In the rock bath surrounded by trees, various birds sing along overhead branches during the day, and looking up at the starry sky at night, enjoy the relaxing journey feeling!

Various trees, from Yuzu, Plum, Sato Nishiki, Tsubaki, Roses, etc., vary from fruits to beautiful flowers, and show different landscapes from season to season.
In November, my husband arranges the chrysanthemums that my husband has put in and it will entertain the eyes.

Amazingly, it is a splendid summer turtle big tree (!).
