Ryudo chartered bath

Ryodo has so many chartered open-air baths of 17 for 22 guestrooms.

Abundant hot spring of 1300ℓ per minute pours into the bath tub of Gensen Kanenagashi (hot spring directly from the source, flowing through the bath tub without circulation.)

You can take a bath at anytime in 24 hours as you like.

Ryudo Accommodation Building

First of all, here is the appearance of Ryudo.

Unfortunately it had heavy snow in the day we stayed.

Ryudo outdoor corridor

As soon as checking in, going to the bath because it's too cold without Onsen bathing.

By the way the accommodation buildings are divided into several.
And most baths are in a remote location from our room, so we must go walking through the outdoor corridor or in the snow to some of them .

Going towards the open-air bath wearing snow boots cross the bridge.It is a bleak sight.

But expectation that we can take a bath soon raises the sensory temperature a little.

In the heavy snow, this is the first one which we bathe in. The name is Tennyo.
