Due to the typhoon "Cimaron"(#20), many accommodation in Kawayu Onsen were damaged by flood water.
We closed Konichi-an today, and helped them to rake mud in the accommodation.
In Kawayu, hot spring water bubbles to the surface of the crystal clear Oto river, and you can dig your own hot spring bath in the
river, or bathe in an prepared one.
Hopefully they will be back to normal as soon as possible...

本日は休館にさせていただいて、台風20号で床上浸水被害が相次いだ川湯温泉へ、泥かきのお手伝いに来ています。
午前中は、川から温泉が湧き出る川湯温泉の宿泊施設の泥かきを。
大塔川はだいぶん、本来の美しい色を取り戻してきました。
今頃は、クリスタルブルーの大塔川で、川遊びやマイ露天風呂を楽しむ観光客で賑わう季節なのですが…
一般の災害ボランティアの募集は、本日が最終日となります。
ただ、営業再開まではまだまだ時間がかかりそうとのこと。早期復旧を祈るばかりです…
