1-9-4, Arai, Ito City, Shizuoka Pref.
In front of Ito Port and Ito Fish Market. A seaside communal bathhouse where both the marine blue bathtub and hot water are refreshing
It's so Ito Onsen. Colorless, transparent, mild and refreshing hot water is flowing from the source. ※

Travel journal of day trip bathing to hot spring
Characters
- Nishi-san
- He is an orthodox hot springs lover and particular about quality of springs. He loves the hot springs flowing from the source, the hot water with a presence, and the rustic atmosphere.
- Kita-san
- He doesn't care much about quality of hot springs. He loves the open-air bath, and prefers hot springs that have visible features such as good views.
"The Seven Deities of Good Fortune" bathhouses tour in Ito Onsen [the 1st bath]
This time, Kita-san wants to go around "The Seven Deities of Good Fortune" bathhouses in Ito, so he has invited Nishi-san forcibly. From the Matsukawa Promenade, on the National Route by the sea, they are walking to "Ebisu Arainoyu" while being blown by the sea breeze.
Around Anjin Memorial Park on the National Route 135
But,the Seven Deities of Good Fortune ... Why?
The communal bathhouses associated with the Seven Deities of Good Fortune are scattered throughout the city. And we will be able to attract good fortune by going around them all!
Boy ... Well, the good fortune aside, I've come to the sea hot spring after a long absence. Look, this road is full of dry seafoods stores.
Because close to the port. The first onsen bathhouse should be right in front of the Ito Fish Market.
Ito Fish Market
Why did you put the farthest from the station first?
It's the earliest to open.
Oh, that makes sense. You've checked it out well ... Somehow, you're so motivated today.
Of course! If you're slow, you won't be able to go around all the Seven Deities of Good Fortune, you know.
All ... in one day? ... After going just as much as we can, and then ...
Oh, here we are! We've arrived at Arainoyu!
♨ Ito Onsen has 780 wells and springs 34,000 liters per minute. By the way, Ito Onsen is the third largest onsen source in Japan, after Beppu and Yufuin.
♨ In Ito City, you can often see the hanging dry seafoods at stores.

Exterior (signboard)
The red signboard is a landmark of Ebisu Arainoyu, facing National Route 135 by the sea. Alongside the outside vending machines, there is a stone statue of Ebisu.
Ebisu statue
Oh, I see. Ebisu.
Yeah. Then, let's get to take a bath.
Oh? Don't you pray?
This is JUST a stone statue, you know.
No, well, that's true, but if so, why you go around the Seven Deities of Good Fortune ...
Hey, hurry up!
Men's bath entrance
When you open the door of a building that does not look like a bathhouse, you can see an undressing room directly.
Undressing room
Oh, it's blue and white, sea-like style. The building is old, but tidy.
Exactly. And the ceiling is high. The ceiling fan is blue too. It's pretty fancy.
Immediately to the bathing room.
Bathtub
Oh, it's bright with lots of light.
Blue tiles and white walls. The interior is sea-like style too.
That's because it's close to the sea.
If you say it's easy, it's easy, but not bad, you know. Not the typical of a communal bath in a good way.
Enter the bathtub.
Yeah, it's plain hot water.
It has almost no features. Not like a hot spring ...
Bathtub
Ito Onsen is basically like this. In short, most are Simple hot springs. So it'll be enough with getting into two or three ...
Well, hot water aside, today's theme is the Seven Deities of Good Fortune!
... Are you really going to go around all of the Seven Deities of Good Fortune?
Of course! If not go all, no good fortune, you know.
Apparently, Kita-san has a plan to go around all the Seven Deities of Good Fortune, starting at Ebisu Arainoyu. That being said, Nishi-san had an optimistic feeling that Kita-san would get tired and quit on the way. Nishi-san didn't know that this was the beginning of suffering, and headed towards the next Seven Deities of Good Fortune "Bishamonten Shibanoyu", with Kita-san. (→ Continue to the 2nd bath, Bishamonten Shibanoyu)
(June 2015)
♨ Ebisu is the deity of success in business. Arai Shrine is associated with Ebisu. It is approximately 150 m (492 ft) in a straight line from Arainoyu. You can see Ito Port from the top of the stone steps of Arai Shrine.

Today's Detour
Anjin Memorial Park
(Photo above: Bust of MIURA Anjin and Monument of Japan's first Western sailing ship construction
Photo below: Sailing vessel "San Buena Ventura")
"Anjin Memorial Park" is a park commemorating the construction of Japan's first Western sailing ship by William Adams (Japanese name: MIURA Anjin). MIURA Anjin was born in England in 1564, drifted to Japan in 1600, and was given an important position by the Shogun TOKUGAWA Ieyasu. Ieyasu granted him a samurai's sword and gave a teritory, so MIURA Anjin was called as "Blue-eyed Samurai". He was requested by Ieyasu to construct a Western sailing ship, and he choosed Ito as the construction site. Because of that connection, The Anjin Festival is held in Ito every summer.
