Ito Onsen Ogawa Hoteinoyu
2-17, Suehiro-cho, Ito City, Shizuoka Pref.
Plenty of onsen water of chloride / sulfate spring in a deep bathtub. A communal bathhouse with a quiet and calm atmosphere
The hot spring water of chloride / sulfate, which is rare in Ito Onsen, is flowing from the source.
The trapezoid bathtub along the wall is rare in Ito, but the biggest feature is the depth of the bathtub of 78 cm (31 in). Deep bathtubs are said to have the effect of activating the heart by water pressure and promoting blood circulation.
It seems that people other than the locals do not visit much, and the atmosphere is quiet and calm.

"The Seven Deities of Good Fortune" bathhouses tour in Ito Onsen [the 8th bath]
(→ Continuation from the 7th bath, Oka Hoteinoyu.
The 1st bath is Ebisu Arainoyu.)
Nishi-san and Kita-san are going around the bathhouses of the Seven Deities of Good Fortune bathhouses in Ito Onsen today.
They thought that they had visited all the bathhouses of Seven Deities of Good Fortune at the 7th hot spring,
Oka Hoteinoyu, but actually there were two baths of Hotei.
In order to complete the bathhouses tour of Seven Deities of Good Fortune,
they've come to the other Hotei "Ogawa Hoteinoyu".
Exterior
From Oka Hoteinoyu to Ogawa Hoteinoyu is a 4 or 5-minute walk. But for Nishi-san, the situation of going into extra time was an unexpected, so the mental damage seems to be great.
Oh, here we are.
... Yeah ...
It's like an apartment house. In the distance, you might not notice it's a bathhouse.
... 'm tired ...
Hotei relief
The Seven Deities of Good Fortune is a little different than another.
... I want to drink beer ...
Okay, it's the end of today. Let's get in.
First to the undressing room.
Undressing room
After all, this is also Showa-like.
Yeah, well, as you would expected, I've got used to the old bathhouse. But it's the same Hotei, this one is calm, you know. There are few customers.
Right. Anyway, let's get in early and go out of it so soon.
Oh? That's unusual ... You wanna go out of it so soon ...
They get into the bathing room. Ogawa Hoteinoyu is a bit unusual. The bathtub is on the wall, not in the center, and is a deformed rectangle.
♨ For just some reason, only Ogawa Hoteinoyu, the Seven Deities of Good Fortune is not a statue but a relief.
Bathtub
Oh, this may be a bit unusual.
Ah, the bathtub isn't in the center. And it's not a rectangle.
Enter the bathtub.
Bathtub
Oh, deep!
Really! Deep! Why?
You never know ...
Mm, I need to be in a semi-crouching position ... I can't calm down.
The water is soft and feels good, though.
Nishi-san and Kita-san, who came out of Ogawa Hoteinoyu, have really completed the bathhouses tour of the Seven Deities of Good Fortune.
Now, finally, we've completed it!
Oh, really, we did well.
For the time being, why don't you buy and drink canned beer at the liquor store just before?
Agree!
But I thought a little now.
What?
Maybe, in ONE day, it has no need to visit the all of the Seven Deities of Good Fortune?
... Eh? Have you noticed now?
That's why, the going around of the Seven Deities of Good Fortune bathhouses in Ito Onsen has been completed successfully. By the way, can Nishi-san and Kita-san attract good fortune of the Seven Deities of Good Fortune which is worth this hardship?
(June 2015)
♨ The bathtub of Ogawa Hoteinoyu is 78 cm (31 in) deep.

Today Beer
Craft beer in Izu (Usami Brewery)
The photo shows "Rhine" of the Craft beer in Izu. "Rhine" was a German type beer. In addition to the heavy roasting aroma, it had a flavor like strawberry or raspberry jam. The craft beer of Izu had another types as "Danube", "Molda" and "Thames". (¥ 410 / 330 ml)
However, the Craft beer in Izu seems to have recently been renewed, and now it has a lineup of "Blond", "Gold", "Amber", "Black" and "Golden Ale" etc. Well, what has changed, I have to go drinking again. (→ Usami Brewery website)
