Daimaru Ryokan

為了去長湯温泉的“Lamune温泉館”泡世界第一的碳酸泉，去長湯温泉的大丸旅館住了一晚。 1、大丸旅館有一百多年歷史了，旅館沿芹川而建。旅館外觀低調，裏面卻是老派奢華旅館的派頭，前台坐着一位穿和服，化濃粧的女將，年紀不輕，但依然能看出當年的美貌，日本的好旅館，總是美貌的女將當家。酒店客房條件不錯，窗外就是杜鵑盛開的芹川，酒店裡麪還陳列着許多藝術品，散發著濃濃的老錢風。 2、住大丸，主要是為泡碳酸泉，酒店裡的温泉也是碳酸泉，但水温高達46度，裏面的碳酸成份都跑掉了。後來，大丸旅館在幾百米開外的地方建起了“Lamune温泉館”，這裏露天風呂的水温衹有32度，碳酸氣泡特別足，人泡在裏面，就像泡在蘇打水裡，酥酥麻麻，全身裹滿氣泡，感覺十分神奇，旁邊還有桑拿，蒸完又泡，特別舒爽。 3、住大丸，就有個福利，“Lamune温泉館”免費泡。從大丸去“Lamune温泉館”，一路沿芹川行走，其中要路過一處螃蟹湯，就是在河邊温泉湧流的地方，修了個蟹殼狀的露天池子，供人免費泡，要求入浴者既不能穿衣服，又不得故意暴露，本以為不會有人泡，沒想到還真有。温泉館門口的馬路邊，有個注意小貓過街的警示牌，因為馬路對面有衹貓，會常常橫穿馬路來温泉館串門。 4、在温泉館和大丸旅館，都可以買到瓶裝温泉水。日本很多温泉都可以喝，但是，大多數温泉，沒有長湯温泉好喝，真的是口感甘冽的好水。一泊二食的餐食也很不錯。

Hot Spa is just superb, having inner and semi-open-air ones, also a smaller one for family use. The madam and the entire staff are quite efficient at their works, full of warm hospitality. The traditional dinner course with local specialties satisfies fully the travelers' wishes. All the rooms are along with the river Seri-gawa with small terrace (lanai) where the guests enjoy the gentle breeze and sound which can nicely tranquilize the hot body after bath. The hot spring water is drinkable - good for health! Lamune onsen is 5 minutes walk and is a part of Daimaru Ryokan so that the guests can use Lamune onsen for free of charge. The Daimaru Ryokan has a prestigious history of having various celebrities stayed, and many of the valued Japanese art pieces are displayed throughout the establishment... incredible! Such a nice stay.
