📍Okushima Lake Shima, Nakanojo-cho, Agatsuma-gun, Gunma Prefecture 《Access》 About 39 minutes on foot from the Shima Onsen/Kanetsu Kotsu bus stop ✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲ The cobalt blue lake surface is known as Shima Blue The most blue and beautiful time is when meltwater flows in from March to May, from 10am to 2pm on a clear day... The water is highly transparent and free of impurities, so it is said to be the deepest blue water surface. I'm impressed by how blue it is!😍😍😍 The blue of the sky, the white clouds, the greenery, and the blue of the lake surface are a spectacular sight. You can drive around the lake (one-way), and there are two observation decks, and if you go a little further you can see the waterfall. You should be able to see the floating islands that only appear when the new leaves are in bloom, but maybe because of the heat? There wasn't enough water to make any floating islands. You can also enjoy activities like SUP and canoeing. It's also a spectacular view in the autumn when the leaves change color. #Gunma #Shiman Onsen #Okushima Lake #Marine Blue #Lake Surface #Activities #SUP #Canoeing #0 Yen Trip

Stayed in Shima Onsen Toshimaya for one night, the overall experience was superb! The room was spacious and comfortable, the tatami bed was soft and comfortable to sleep on, and the best thing was that the open-air bath was right by the stream - soaking in the hot spring and listening to the gurgling water, soaking in the night and looking at the stars, the body and mind instantly relaxed. The hotel was clean, the service was considerate, and the one-night stay and two-meals were not sloppy. The dinner was exquisite and delicious, and the breakfast was also very satisfying. The public hot spring in the hotel was also great, with just the right temperature and a quiet environment. It was a good place to relax. A fifteen-minute walk will also take you to Jishankan, which is known as the inspiration for "Spirited Away". The moment the lights are turned on, it is as beautiful as walking into the world of animation. Shima Onsen has few tourists and few shops, but it is more peaceful because of this. It is a healing town away from the hustle and bustle of the city, quietly enjoying a slow life. Recommended for you who want to relax completely. #四万温泉 #千与千寻 #丰島屋 #济善館 #PrivateOnsen #JapanTravel #HotSpringRetreat

Of the six baths you can visit at Shima Onsen Shima Tamura, this time I'd like to introduce the open-air bath Mori no Kodama 🌳♨️!!! Personally, this is my favorite place in Shima Tamura 🤤 No matter how many times I go, I never get bored and it's a place that heals me every time ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ♨️Open-air bath Echoes of the forest 🌳 While bathing in the forest 🍃 You can enjoy the sound of the river and the chirping of the birds while bathing in the hot spring. This is the perfect hot spring for those who want to feel nature ♨️ This is my favorite bath at Shima Tamura, but it is always crowded no matter when you go, so I think it is probably the most popular bath!!! (Bath) It is very spacious and can hold about 15 people 🙆♀️If you want to see the waterfall while bathing, it is better to bathe on the right side of the bath for a better view!!! (Water) It is 41-42 degrees, and it feels hot at first, but once you get used to it, it is a temperature that you can continue to stay in ~ Since it is an open-air bath, even if it gets too hot, it is recommended that you bathe in the hot spring several times by taking a half-body bath or taking an open-air bath!!! (Other) There is no washing area, so you should use Iwane no Yu or the large bath, which have washing areas.

Of the six baths you can enjoy at Shima Onsen Shima Tamura, this time we will introduce the beautiful skin bath Iwane no Yu ♨️!!! 〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜 ♨️ Beautiful skin bath Iwane no Yu 〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜 (Water) Of all the baths at Shima Tamura, this is the closest to the source, so the water is hot and it tingles a bit on the skin, I think it was about 43 degrees 😂 (Washing area and bath) There are four washing areas, and the bath is large enough that about six people can comfortably fit in, and there is a Gomusou no Yu and a garden open-air bath. Like the potholes, it was in a remote location, so it was nice that it wasn't too crowded!!! (Other) There are also two waterfall baths and a steam bath with a hot spring source, and the waterfall bath was just right for stiff shoulders and back🙆♀️ The waterfall bath is hot, but when you put it on your shoulders, it gradually warms up and feels loose, which is nice~ The steam bath with a hot spring source is like a steam sauna, so it's recommended for sauna lovers!!! ———📍Access①Train🚃&Bus🚌Pattern🚃JR Limited Express Kusatsu Ueno - Nakanojo Station, about 2 hours🚌Kanetsu Kotsu Nakanojo Station - Kirinokihira, about 30 minutes👣6 minutes walk from the nearest bus stop②Direct bus🚌Pattern🚌Ikaho-Shima Onsen Tokyo Station or Keio Hachioji Station - Shima Tamura About 4 hours 💰Price: From 30,000 yen for 2 people with 2 meals and 1 night reservation on the official website (from 15,000 yen per person) 🕰️Business hours: Check-in 15:00-18:00 Check-out ~11:00——— #Hotspring2024 #ShimanOnsen #ShimanTamura #Hotspring #HotspringInn #HotspringRyokan #IndoorBath #HotspringTour #Gunma #GunmaTourism

Shima Onsen Shima Tamura has 6 baths that you can enjoy, and we will introduce 2 of them: Cypress Bath Gomuso no Yu and Garden Open Air Bath Pothole!!! ~ ... Gomuso no Yu This is my second favorite bath among the ones you can visit at Shima Tamura!!! My favorite bath is called Mori no Kodama, and it's the best because there is a waterfall flowing in front of you and you are surrounded by greenery 🥲 I will introduce it in another post!!! This is a cypress bath, so you can bathe in the hot spring while being surrounded by the nice scent of cypress 🌲 It is large enough for about 6-8 people, and both the moment when the light shines in and the moment when it sparkles, and the moment when you bathe in the dim light at night, both have a great atmosphere and are very nice 🙆♀️ The water is a little hot at about 42 degrees, so you can't stay in it for long, but I recommend alternating between the potholes next to it!!! ♨️Garden open-air bath pothole ... It is next to Gomuso no Yu, and since it is an open-air bath, you can cool off while you bathe, so we recommend alternating between Gomuso no Yu and Gomuso no Yu♨️ It is a garden open-air bath with the motif of Shima's tourist attraction, the "potholes," and is surrounded by greenery and rocks, so you can enjoy the hot springs while feeling the nature!!! The bath is very spacious at the back, and it looks like it could fit about 8-10 people~ The water was outside, so it was a comfortable temperature of about 40 degrees!!! If you want to visit all the baths, we recommend checking in at exactly 3pm when check-in begins🙆♀️ ———📍Access①Train🚃&Bus🚌Pattern🚃JR Limited Express Kusatsu Ueno - Nakanojo Station About 2 hours🚌Kanetsu Kotsu Nakanojo Station - Kirinokihira About 30 minutes👣6 minutes walk from the nearest bus stop②Direct bus🚌Pattern🚌Ikaho-Shima Onsen Tokyo Station or Keio Hachioji Station to Shima Tamura About 4 hours 💰PriceBook on the official website, 1 night with 2 meals for 2 people from 30,000 yen (15,000 yen per person) 🕰️Business hoursCheck-in 15:00-18:00Check-out ~11:00——— #Furitabi #Shima Onsen #Shima Tamura #Hot spring #Hot spring inn #Gunma sightseeing #Hot spring trip #Cypress bath #Rock bath #Open-air bath

We paid the one-way fare, visited the Yamba Dam, and returned to the starting point on foot on the way back. It is a hiking trail, so you can enjoy seeing the waterfall and, at this time of year, the autumn leaves. ↓🚗💨 ★Yamba Dam Kawaharahata, Naganohara-cho, Agatsuma-gun, Gunma Prefecture Destination of the bicycle trolley "Yamba Dam" This dam is used for flood control and water utilization, such as flood control for the downstream Tone River and power generation by Gunma Prefecture.

The rooms are purely Japanese style. There are three types of rooms, and you can relax while listening to the sound of the babbling water. The hot spring that springs from the riverbed and flows naturally The amount of hot water that springs from the private hot spring is 1600 liters per minute A hot spring that is gentle on the skin It has long been counted as one of the "three major hot springs in Japan for gastrointestinal diseases" and is said to be effective against gastrointestinal diseases. It also contains a lot of "metasilicic acid" that is said to promote collagen production, and is popular with women as a hot spring for beautiful skin. The open-air bath "Echo of the Forest" is a spectacular sight with the trees reflected in the water. ↓🚶🏻 ★Sekizenkan Shima Onsen, Nakanojo-cho, Agatsuma-gun, Gunma Prefecture "Sekizenkan" stands on the banks of the Shinyu River.

The main building, which is said to be the oldest wooden bathhouse building in Japan, is also designated as an important cultural property of Gunma Prefecture. Japan's oldest bathhouse building is said to be one of the models for "Spirited Away." The lit-up view was different from the daytime and was even more fantastical😍. [Day 2] ★Okushima Lake Shima, Nakanojo-cho, Agatsuma-gun, Gunma Prefecture The beautiful "Shima Blue" lake surface is most beautiful in May. The blue color changes subtly depending on the season, the amount of sunlight, and the time of day. The bluest time is from March to May when meltwater flows in. The recommended time is from 10:00 to 14:00 on a clear day. I was so impressed by the blueness of the lake! 😍😍😍 The blue of the sky, the white clouds, the green, and the blue of the lake surface are spectacular. You can drive around the lake (one-way), and there are two observation decks, and if you go a little further you can see the waterfall. You should be able to see the floating islands that only appear when the new leaves are in bloom, but maybe because of the heat? There was not enough water to make them. You can also enjoy activities such as SUP and canoeing. The autumn leaves are also spectacular. Why not come and visit...↓🚗💨 ★Iris Hill 3860-1 Nakagokan Kaminohara, Annaka City, Gunma Prefecture A botanical garden with a stunning contrast to the blue sky.

I went to Shima Onsen in Gunma. I didn't know much about it before I went, but when I actually went there, the view was overwhelming! It was a bit cloudy that day, but I was still able to see the beautiful blue scenery. It was also the autumn foliage season, so the red leaves and the blue of the Shima Blue were very beautiful and I wanted to keep taking pictures★ There are many things to see nearby, such as a facility where you can do SUP and a hot spring facility that is said to have been the model for Spirited Away. There is also a slightly Showa-era shopping street where you can eat. I never thought I would be able to see such a spectacular view within driving distance of Tokyo. I'd love to go again as the scenery changes with the seasons★ #ShimaOnsen #ShimagawaDam #ShimaBlue #FreeHongKongAirTicket

I stayed at Nakanojo Shima Onsen's Nakaseikan, a hot spring inn located at the very back of the Shima Onsen in Gunma Prefecture. The recommended thing about this inn is the open-air bath! There are several open-air baths, but one is located along the river just past the red bridge over the river. Listening to the murmuring of the river and soaking in the open-air bath while feeling as if you are one with nature was a wonderful experience. This open-air bath along the river is only open in the summer, so please be careful when making a reservation. The inn's meals are served in the room in so many varieties that you can't finish them all. Everything was very delicious. I would like to come back in the summer to experience the beautiful waterfall and the wonderful open-air bath. #ShimanOnsen #HotSpring #OpenAirBath #

Not only was the dinner delicious, but the quantity and speed of the food served were just right, so it was very good😇 ⁡ I always eat quickly, so sometimes I have to wait for the next dish to come... (Of course, the inn is not bad, it's just that we eat so quickly because the food is so delicious.) ⁡ Sekizenkan brought the food one after another according to the speed, and they served rice with the sukiyaki, so I was very grateful for the hospitality...!!! I was also captivated here🫠 ⁡ The sashimi was served in two types, Tosa soy sauce and roasted sake? It was my first time to eat it with sake, but it seemed to enhance the flavor of the fish, so it was delicious!!! For breakfast, you can choose one of four types of smoothies🍹 ⁡ When you arrive at the venue in the morning, the first thing you will have is a smoothie. I think I had an apple and carrot smoothie...🍎🥕 I remember they also had komatsuna and koji smoothies😇(I thought I had written it down, but it's gone now, sadly...I don't have any photos of the smoothies for some reason...🥹) ⁡ There were a lot of vegetables and a wide variety of items, so I was excited from the morning!!! #hotspring #hotspringhotel #shimaonsen #gunmatourism #gunma #sekizenkan

I found a very stylish Italian restaurant in Shima Onsen town, Nakanojo, Gunma prefecture. It's called PUBLIC LANGOLINO. This Italian restaurant uses ingredients from Gunma and the seasons, so it's a must-try♡ There's also a hot spring town nearby, so be sure to visit it as well. #ShimanOnsen #HotSpring #SummerShortTrip

I went to Oizumi Falls, located downstream of the Shima River in Gunma! Famous for its Shima Blue color, this waterfall has a fantastic blue pool where the clear water flows from the Shima River Dam. There are signs along the road and a walking path, so you can get close to the waterfall! Please come and visit us sometime~ #Gunma#Shima Onsen#Amazing view#Cool travel experience#Summer trip
