Aug 9–11, 2025 Shiga & Nara Sauna Journey
The Kansai region is home to many wonderful saunas. This time I decided to visit Shiga and Nara prefectures. In Shiga, I visited 'Chomeiji Onsen Amaha-no-Yu' and 'Spa Resort Ogoto Agaryanse.' In Nara, I visited 'Yurara-no-Yu Oshikuma,' enjoying the saunas, cold baths, and hot springs at each location. The journey's finale was my first visit to 'Arima Kaido Onsen Suzuran-no-Yu' in Hyogo Prefecture. There I discovered a world that completely blew my mind.
