What is cool and hot in this season – Sumpu Yume Hiroba -2 [Shizuoka]
Now, I cross the bridge and open the door to step in “Tenka Taihei no Yu” onsen hot spring facility and say hello at the front desk. You will get startled to see how huge the lobby space is.
Passing through the front desk, a large stairs gives you some choices. One down to the shopping area, another to the spacious rest area, or directly straight to the Spa area.
I kept on the corridor to the Spa area. It is very nice that we can have “Yukata”, Japanese cotton wear, to make ourselves more comfortable. You can choose one among several types.
As you can see from these pages linked below, there are 10 varieties of bath for women and 8 varieties for men in this facility. What is more, though limited only in summer, coed open-air hot-springs are available during May through Sep ! Be sure to put your swim suit on in this area, needless to say.＾＾； You can enjoy five varieties and it includes a bath in the cave ! Sounds good ?
Bathe yourself sufficiently in Onsens and take a good rest over a glass of, maybe, coke in the resting space.
For those who like to have a private space, they offer some private rooms with a private open-air bath. Up to 12 hrs ( 10:00 – 22:00 ), from ￥4000, charged by the room, no matter how many you are.
Now, I feel seriously hungry. Maybe strawberries are digested so quickly.
I headed for the Japanese restaurant to have a late lunch, or too early dinner.＾＾；
Is it a perk for the guests ? I was just impressed by the price of each dish. Not expensive at all ! I ordered large sized “Ten-don”, a bowl of rice with deep fried shrimp and vegetables which cost less than ￥1000.＾＾ And pay attention on the “Kaisen-don”, a bowl of rice with a variety of Sashimi. It was the same price ! Tendon tasted wonderful with crispy texture.＾＾
Now, it’s time for me to go back to the office to get pictures together and organize my records, and maybe to make the next plan.
We will welcome your comments and inquiries at any time.
Have a good day !＾＾

What is cool and hot in this season – Sumpu Yume Hiroba [Shizuoka]
So, I walked about 20 minutes along the Kuno coastline to “Sumpu Yume Hiroba”. Though I could have arrived earlier if I kept on the sidewalk of route 150, I dared to walk on the seashore so that I could feel fresher air.
You can take the free shuttle bus from or to JR Shizuoka Station. Just remember this bus for your information ! And, pay your attention on the glass-building behind the bus. That is where our tourist association is. Please feel free to come in to say hello if you’ve got any chance to visit Shizuoka city.＾＾
Now, what’s in there ? This facility is largely divided into 2 parts. One is for the amusement square called “Nihon-Genki-Gekijo” that includes the theatrical shows, historical museum, “ashiyu” foot spa area, and shops and restaurants. You can feel another old-time Japan because all are featured in the image of Tokugawa’s Edo Era.
Though you need to pay for the admission at the entrance gate in advance, you can enjoy almost everything free of charge. I stepped into the Ninja mansion first, followed by Magic Tunnel. Next came the haunted house ! I love the haunted house ! Of course, I tried it walking in the darkness. Actually, it was too dark for me to walk on. I could do nothing but feel my way relying on the lights from the ghosts.＾＾；
When I got out of the ghost house, I came across a show on the stage. They played a historical story comically entertaining to us. I enjoyed it very much and went on to the Ashiyu area. Ever tried it ? First you may feel warm just only around the legs but it comes up by degrees to the top of the head. We believe it’s very good for our health.＾＾
And the museum. As I’ve told you in the page of Kunozan Toshogu Shrine, in Shizuoka, there are lots of historical spots and materials relating to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of Tokugawa Shogunate known as Edo Era. Actually, this museum is well organized and has become soon one of my favorites. Extensive stories about Tokugawa Ieyasu are well explained ( though in Japanese ) and wax figures also help us to imagine how they were in that age. It’s definitely worth seeing !
Now, let’s go on to “the other” part of it. It is totally intensive Spa area called “Tenka-Taihei-no-yu”. You cross the wooden bridge and it is just right there. I stepped in it for the first time. It was humongous !
Next time, I’ll introduce the “Tenka Taihei no yu”.
Have a good day !＾＾
