In order for you to enter the onsen, you need to but the entrance ticket from the vending machine. Besides, you can also buy the tower, soap, Yokata (Japanese people Cloth) and more thing from the vending machine.

They even have a canteen outside the onsen which you can have some foods after you finish enjoying your onsen.

Because today is weekend, there are lot of people there

There are fruits sales outside the onsen

The fruits is so attempting, we plan to buy some

Onsen experiences near Kuzaha Station.

We walk there from seminar house. Since now is the winter, there are a lot of the "ume" flower along the way, it is really beautiful.

We need to buy ticket from the vending machine to enter the onsen. Onsen here is separate for boy and gal. As I entering the changing room, I am shock seeing the people around me naked. Right, this is Japan culture; all the people are naked in the onsen area. Initially, I felt a bit of uncomfortable but as everyone around me is the same then I care no more and prepare to enjoy my onsen.

Inside the onsen area there are a lot different onsen. The first one I tried is a moderate onsen as it is not too hot, then I went to a red onsen which is more hot compare to the previous one. After trying both, I went for a outdoor onsen. It is a beautiful pool as the design is like you are in the waterfall. I spend quite a long time in that onsen as I like it very much.

After that, I went off and take a rest at the sitting area. During that time, I notice that most of the people are old people and young children. There are just only a few of the teenager like me. However, it did not matter as I do enjoy myself. Then I went to the other pool in the outside area. It is the white colour pool which you can enjoy TV show while you are inside the pool. The people are quite relaxing.

Another onsen is the dark chocolate colour which has strong odour. I saw a packet of chocolate colour pack at the source of the water, maybe it is something like tea pack that used for onsen. Finally, there is a last facility at the outdoor onsen area. It was the steam bath. It is kind like a small hole for you to enter and it keep releasing the steam in the small cave room. I did not stay long, it take me maybe 6 min for the steam bath. Before I leave, I manage to try another onsen which is the cold onsen. The water will really make you freezing cold. Lastly, I went for the sauna, it is some sort like a hot movie teather as people enjoy TV show and sauna together.

It can be said as a good experience to try onsen in Japan. You will have lot of wonderful experience for sure. I think I will visit the onsen again soon.
