AISubs v3.8.2
This program is brought to you by...
Thank you, Earth!
...Ms Emiko Kawamura, who loves hot springs so much that she's almost a hot spring sommelier, and...
That's amazing!
...AKB48 Masai Mayu-chan, who loves hot springs like an idol, is...
Huh? Is this it?
Isn't this it, Masa-chan?
...she tends to pass by, but sometimes she stops by a hotel or someone's house.
Chou Anaba Onsen, which is known by the locals.
It's glossy.
While taking a detour, you will approach the charm of the hot spring empire Gunman.
So, this time, we will enjoy Yorimichi Onsen while aiming for Kusatsu Onsen, which has been shining in Japan for 22 years in 100 hot springs in Japan.
It's nice.
We're going to a place where we can relax.
That's right.
Normally, we go to a public hot spring, but we can't go there.
Normally, we go to Kusatsu or Ikaho, but I heard there is a good hot spring nearby.
I'm looking forward to it.
The starting point is Shibukawa, which is the entrance to Ikaho Onsen and Kusatsu Onsen.
What kind of attractive hot springs are there to Kusatsu Onsen?
There are six hot springs in Yorimichi this time.
The first one is 15 minutes' drive from Shibukawa Ikaho Interchange.
It's a hot spring that I happened to come to.
I wonder where it is.
It's concrete.
I can see a factory.
The biggest building is a factory.
That's right.
I wonder if there is a hot spring here.
I saw it.
You saw it.
It says, it's the hot spring of the wind.
It's on the right of the arrow.
There is also a garden.
It's very nice.
There is such a nice place. I'm surprised.
The atmosphere of the oil mill, which is located in places surrounded by concrete factories and railroads.
This is the first hot spring to aim for, but it seems that it came out by chance. Why is that?
There is an insenjo.
Would you like to drink it for a moment?
Thank you for the meal.
It tastes like that.
Did you do it?
Gumma.
It tastes like gumma.
Gumma's insen has this kind of feature.
For example, there is an insen like this in Ikao.
But all of them are 10 yen.
So, if you want to meet 10 yen, you should drink it.
You should drink it.
You might want to drink it.
Then, let's go to the hot spring.
Excuse me for disturbing you.
What kind of hot spring is it?
I like warm ones.
It's warm.
This is the bath.
Please take a bath in it.
It's amazing.
It's made of wood.
It's amazing.
That's why it smells so good.
And it's made of wood.
It's very relaxing.
Is there a routine?
It's wonderful.
Excuse me for disturbing you.
It's amazing.
It's wonderful.
It looks warm.
It's greenish.
It is.
Why is it greenish?
It's the same nature as Ikao hot spring.
It's a little darker than Ikao.
It's a little thin.
But it's similar in nature.
That's why it's this color.
It contains a lot of iron and magnesium in hot water.
When it overflows in hot water boat, it oxidizes.
That's why it's this color.
There are a lot of strong ones in it.
Customers say that it's warm in winter.
Speaking of Ikao hot spring, it is well-known as a place of pilgrimage.
Many people visit this popular hot spring area for treatment of diseases and health promotion.
Since Ikao hot spring is 15 minutes away by car from Ikao hot spring, it is said that hot springs are similar in nature.
Why is there a windmill standing next to a concrete factory?
At first, I thought it was a city of sludge.
If you were digging a well and it smelled bad, a hot spring would come out of it.
Wow!
At that time, the former president dug a hot spring and opened a hot spring facility for family members and local law enforcement officers.
Wow!
That's the history.
If you dig for concrete, hot water comes out for people.
Wow!
It's hot!
Although it was a hot spring that came out of it because of the work of a concrete factory 30 years ago,
now it is loved by locals so much that it can be lined up even before it is opened.
It opened up from the beginning.
Yes.
I'm very glad that I can wear boots.
Me, too.
Today's second on-the-way hot spring is...
A hot spring discovered by a snake.
I feel like I'm in my daily life in Japan.
It's a nice house, isn't it?
Established in 1928, Negoya-cho hot spring.
What could it be that a snake has discovered?
Welcome!
Thank you!
Thank you for having us!
Thank you for visiting us in this cold weather!
Let's go to the bathroom!
It's so nice!
It's 100% kakenagashi.
Is it 100% original?
Yes, it's made of kakenagashi.
Wow!
It's made of stone and tile.
It's retro and cute!
It's cute, isn't it?
It's very cute!
And finally, it's time for their wish to come true!
I'm so happy!
From the right foot, from the heart, from a distance.
From the right foot, from the heart... Is heart supposed to be on the left?
Then from the right foot...
It's said that you should start from a distance.
I'm going to put some lotion on my face.
Sounds good!
Here, Agatsuma Onsen's preference is weak alkaline natrium chloride onsen.
Salt sticks to the skin and acts like a pack, so it is highly moisturizing.
This Negoya-style onsen, where you can enjoy such a quality onsen, has a spacious break room.
You can eat home-made meals and do karaoke.
By the way, what does it mean for a snake to have discovered an onsen?
It came out of under here, and snakes always come out of the well in summer.
Snakes in a well? Real snakes?
That's right. It's warm in there, so you always get onsen.
Wow!
There is a well near the house.
The owner found a snake crawling in the well.
The owner, who believed that there was warm water under the snake-crawling well,
So I asked a bowling alley and said I didn't have that kind of money, but I said I had 20,000 yen.
So I asked if I could dig it out with 20,000 yen.
With 20,000 yen?
So I said I'd dig it out with 20,000 yen.
And I dug it out and it was 247 meters deep.
Wow!
So I said I couldn't dig it out with 10,000 yen.
It was that deep.
You couldn't dig it out with 10,000 yen? Wow!
But I said I didn't have money, so I couldn't do anything about the onsen.
So I said I'd do it with everyone's help.
My sister's husband was a carpenter.
So we asked a bowling alley to make it for us.
My grandfather's brother was a stone miller.
So we brought stones and started making doten.
That's right. From hot springs to buildings, baths and entrances, everything was made by relatives and acquaintances, and it took two years to make a handmade hot spring.
These are all light bulbs. In the past, this kind of thing used to run.
You use it like this.
It's a tatami of judo.
Judo?
From high school.
Wow!
We rebuilt it and threw it away.
So you didn't spend a lot of money and collected a lot of wood and made a handmade hot spring.
We made all the boilers and the place where we brought hot water.
That's a good story.
I heard a lot of stories.
Is your grandfather here today?
My grandfather is here.
Wow!
It's so cute!
Can I ask you a favor?
No way!
Is it this way?
Thank you, husband and wife of the shy hunter.
Five minutes' drive from Negoya Central Line.
What did we come across?
Oh, I can see a sign that says,
this is a house for homeless people.
That's right!
There are so many food signs.
Meisui Manjū.
Manjū!
That's nice!
The building is nice, too.
It's very old-fashioned.
By the way, I'd like to say a few words about hot springs in Somalia.
When you go to a hot spring hotel,
they often serve you hot spring manjū.
That's meaningful, too.
Before you take a bath,
if you eat a bite of it,
you'll get better blood circulation,
and you won't feel dizzy.
That's why you should eat it.
That's right!
Now that we know more about Somalia's hot springs,
let's go inside!
Hello! Excuse me!
Thank you for coming!
Thank you for having us!
There are so many things here!
There is also miso! Miso looks delicious!
Hakoshima uses Meisui Hyakusen's fresh water to provide manjus and food, so that's why it's called Meisui Manjus.
Oh, I see! That's why the water is delicious!
It's fresh water, isn't it? Yes, it is!
Hakoshima Fresh Water is selected from Meisui Hyakusen, which is located about 15 minutes' walk away from Yasuragi's house.
Manjus are made by using that fresh water!
Wow, you all have such shiny skin!
It's because of Meisui Hyakusen, isn't it?
Meisui Hyakusen!
Anyway, I want to go to the hot spring more!
You are so cute!
No! I thought you were so ugly!
No way!
You are so cute!
No way!
You are so cute!
The dough is quite chewy, so it's worth eating, and the sweetness of the red bean paste is excellent.
Thank you for the meal.
It's not too sweet, and it has a little bit of saltiness of miso, and it's my first time eating it. It's very delicious.
After all, I thought that if you have this much water, you might have a good hot spring.
That's right.
If you go straight for about 10 minutes from here and go down, you will find a hot spring called Kikyokan, which was originally in this area.
Kikyokan?
Yes.
What are the characteristics of it?
The water is soft and your skin is smooth.
Wow!
That's why...
Oh, it's stuck!
So, to Ms. Kikyo-kan, who was introduced by her mother who has a glossy skin, we urgently go to Yorimichi Onsen.
To Ms. Kikyo-kan, who was recommended by a local person, we will go to Yorimichi Onsen.
Isn't it this? It's written.
This is a lot. Kikyo-kan is... It's written in pink.
Azuma Onsen.
It's kind of sentimental and nice. Yes.
Established in 1938, Azuma Onsen, Ms. Kikyo-kan.
Since we asked for an urgent shooting, only a small number of people can enter the bathroom.
It's our first time! Yay! It's our first shooting!
Let's go to the bathroom!
Everything is made of wood
look at the roof and the ceiling
it's amazing, it's relaxing
it's beautiful, let's go to the open-air shop
let's go, it's lovely
it's great, this Nakaniwa feeling is the best
it's great, it's a little private
it's great, it's great it's great, it's
in this cold season, it's great, my skin is going to be glossy,
everyone in Yasuragi-no-Ie said it earlier, it's so smooth, it's great,
by the way, Masa-chan, this is an alkaline hot spring,
alkaline hot springs remove sebum from the skin, so it's said that it's a smooth and beautiful hot spring,
that's why it's Masa-ni-no-Ie, it's Masa-ni-no-Ie, mothers are convinced that it's beautiful,
it's like a fortune-telling, don't you like fortune-telling? I love it, it's great,
and today's fourth onsen is an onsen in the river,
Masa-chan, it's suddenly dark, it's really cool, can you see anything?
I can see it, it says Kadohan Ryokan Kawanaka Onsen,
isn't it?
What kind of hot spring is it?
Kawanaka Onsen-san, an inn that stands by a river in 1978.
It is located in the mountains above Gangasawa River, near Agatsuma-kyo.
Today, we will stay in this inn.
First of all, we will have a meal before taking a bath.
The fish is grilled with salt from Iwano and the blue one is washed with koi.
Koi?
Yes, it is koi.
Is it that koi?
There is a culture of eating koi for a long time.
I see.
Since it is in the mountains and there are no fish in the sea
we remove the koi and tell customers that it doesn't smell and it is easy to eat.
I see.
Today, I found an egg because it was a female when I handled it.
Is it an egg of koi?
Yes, it is.
It is rare. I have never seen it before.
In addition, there is a famous dish of Gunma, Sashimi Konnyaku,
a steamed dish of Gunma's brand, Joshu-buta,
a wide variety of noodles made of wheat cooked with vegetables and mushrooms from various households,
and a hot spring dish that uses a lot of local ingredients.
Thank you for it.
It looks delicious.
Joshu-buta is good. It is a local delicious pork.
Thank you for it.
How is it?
It is delicious.
Is it delicious?
My body is melting.
In addition, Agatsuma's specialty, Iwana.
Wow, it is delicious.
Is it delicious?
It is a good salted seafood and it is chewy.
Wow, it is thick udon.
Thank you for it.
Wow, it is filling and fluffy, and has a similar feeling of vegetables, and it makes you feel kind.
Isn't it thick?
Do you want to try it?
Yes.
I will eat it with vinegar and miso.
Thank you for it.
How is it?
It is chewy and delicious, and it is not salty.
Can you eat it?
Yes, it is my first love.
Can you eat it for the first time?
Yes, I can.
I feel like I am eating food in a hot spring in the mountains.
Yes.
In addition, there are river fish along the river.
Normally, there is only sashimi, but it is good to eat local love.
Yes.
It is filling, isn't it?
Yes, I think it is special to be able to feel local love like this.
Yes, it is good.
After enjoying hot spring food in the mountains, we will finally go to a hot spring.
It is Kawanaka Hot Spring, which is a hot spring resort located along the river in 1978.
What kind of hot spring is this beautiful hot spring in the river?
Hello.
It looks good.
Yes, it is good.
It is amazing.
The sound you are hearing now is the sound of the hot spring coming out of the river called Ganga Tawa
which is said to be a hot spring in the middle of the river.
Is the hot spring coming out of the river?
That's right. In other hotels, the hot spring comes out of the mountains and makes a hotel about one kilometer away.
In our case, that's the source of the hot spring, so we made it near the river to make a hotel as close as possible.
Since the source flows from the bottom of the river in front of the hotel, it is called the hot spring in the middle of the river.
And it seems that some historical figures are also related to this hot spring.
It was discovered around 1192 in the Kamakura period.
When Mr. Minamoto no Yoritomo was walking around here, he found steam coming out of the river and was discovered that there is also a hot spring here.
So there are many places where there is a legend of Yoritomo and it is one of them.
In the Kamakura period, Mr. Minamoto no Yoritomo went to Kusatsu Hot Spring for treatment of skin disease.
Since Kusatsu Hot Spring's hot spring had strong acidity, Kashin was looking for a gentle hot spring where you can treat your skin.
It seems that there is a legend of meeting this hot spring.
By the way, there are other hot springs in Gunma that say that Mr. Minamoto no Yoritomo went to.
Somehow, compared to the hot spring we went to today, it's a little refreshing.
What will this hot spring be?
It will be a calcium carbonated hot spring.
The sulfuric acid itself creates shine and gloss on the skin, so anti-aging effects are expected.
It's made of cotton. It's the best.
You're really getting into it.
It's like using it only for lotion.
This is natural lotion.
It's too cheap.
Thank you, earth!
After enjoying the beauty of Japan, what will they do next time?
Huh?
They'll keep getting closer and closer to even more people and aim for a calcium carbonated hot spring!
