"Musubibito" Profile
Toyoshima Kiriko (Toyoshima Kiriko): Born in Fukuoka Prefecture, Beppu City, Oita Prefecture
Kiriko Toshima, who grew up in Beppu, grew up in an environment where hot springs are always in their daily lives, and has been familiar with Tetsuwa Onsen, a school road since school days. While traveling around Kannawa Onsen, I noticed that there were hot springs with different spring quality in the same area, and my interest in hot springs grew more and more, and I began to immerse myself in it. I want more people to know Kannawa Onsen! I want you to enjoy the hot spring more! I started a guide from that feeling, and I convey the charm of iron rings with the love of hot springs that are still overflowing.
Take a walk in the back alley of Tetsuwa Onsen Town
Take a stroll with Toshima-san at Kannawa Onsen, one of the "Beppu Hachiyu", which is also famous as a hot spring resort. We will guide you through recommended hot spring spots, and hot spring tours unique to the local area, including Hiratagawa (Hiratagawa), which has turned green due to the ingredients of the hot spring, and a device that cools the source naturally. You can learn about the history of Kannawa Onsen and the benefits of hot spring while visiting the back alleys of the hot spring town where hot spring water rises.
Kannawa Onsen "Mushiyu" experience
It is said that the steamed hot spring was founded in 1276 in the Kamakura period by a monk, Ippen Shonin.
It lies on the floor covered with medicinal herbs called "Sekisho" in the stone room warmed by the fountain of the hot spring, and steams the whole body. It warms the body from the core and encourages sweating while feeling the cool scent of irises. This is an experience that can be done only because the hot spring of iron ring is a hot boiling spring.
Hot spring "Hell Steamed" which eats traditional cooking methods from the Edo period
Since ancient times, Beppu has called dangerous places where hot spring fountains, hot mud, hot water, etc. erupted are called "hell", and the cooking method using hot spring steam is called "hell steam".
In the "Hell Steaming" experience, you can choose and add your favorite ingredients such as seafood and meat to bamboo zaru with vegetables. Put the bamboo zaru with ingredients in the pot as it is, steam it with about 100 ° C steam in about 8 to 10 minutes, and enjoy the hell steamed lunch.
