Kaiun-no-yu

212. Kaiun-no-yu, Morioka An old onsen complex, 4 minutes by taxi from Morioka Station. With a towel set, it costs 970 yen. There is a massage service, a diner, and a small shop. There is a private bath for 2200 yen and a stone bath, but I did not use them. There were quite a lot of people for such a small place at 11 p.m. on Sunday, but nobody bothered anyone. 1. Indoor area. It is comfortable to breathe inside, but there is a chlorine smell. 1.1. A smaller rectangular bath with clear onsen water, around 40 degrees. The water is clear, with a noticeable chlorine smell. 1.2. A large rectangular bath with tap water enriched with something that is hard to explain in plain language, 高濃度 炭酸イオン泉. The water is clear, it smells like a mix of chlorine and some other smell, and the temperature is 36 to 38 degrees. 1.3. A cold-water bath. 1.4. A sauna. 1.5. In the passage between the indoor and outdoor areas, there is a small square bath with clear warm water. It looks stagnant, and I did not understand its purpose. 2. Outdoor area. 2.1. A large stone bath with onsen water. A small bridge runs across the bath. The water is clear, the temperature is 36 to 38 degrees, and there is a chlorine smell, but not as noticeable as in the indoor bath. On one side of the bath there is a shallow area, about one quarter of the size of this whole bath. 2.2. A small stone bath on a raised level. Judging from the diagram, the water is tap water, clear, with a chlorine smell. The temperature is 36 to 38 degrees. A mixed onsen. If you have very little time and need an onsen near the station, and the chlorine does not bother you, then maybe it is fine. 03.11.2024
