2019年大晦日に寂光院に向かう途中で、立ち寄り。ことりっぷガイドに載っている中で、この日営業しているのはこちらだけでして。ありがたい。 天気雨の続く薄ら寒い日、市内よりも5℃低いというのは大げさだと思うけれど、マジきつかったので、速攻でぜんざいを注文。暖かいほうじ茶飲みながら足湯にうっとり。こういう施設があるとホントありがたい。娘氏はガチの抹茶に顔をしかめ、人生で初めて羊羹のおいしさを知ったらしい。よかったよかった。

大原温泉に寄ろうと思ったら一般客は朝の6〜8時と夕方しか利用できず、残念と思っていたら大原温泉の足湯カフェがあるので利用 タオルも用意されています コーヒー720円は観光地ですし、好みの深入り、酸味控えめの味わいだし、温泉の足湯も楽しめるので満足 ゆるっとジャズが流れてて心地いいので長居注意w Wi-Fiもあり

寂光院からの帰り道、女子グループで初訪問しました。私達だけでしたので、のんびりと過ごせました(๑˃͈꒵˂͈๑)広々としたテーブル席で、ほんのすこしだけ熱めのお湯が出てます。窓は全て全開なので、屋根はありますがほぼ室外なので、お湯もちょうど良い温度になります¨̮︎ハーブティが、とっても良い香り!冷抹茶と羊羹も素敵でした。こだわりが感じられました。期間限定の、甘酒がとっても濃厚で、それでいて甘過ぎなくて最高でした¨̮︎甘酒に添えられてます生姜を入れずに飲みきってしまいました久しぶりに素敵な甘酒に出会えました( *ˊᵕˋ)ワンドリンク制、最大40分です。

Tea and coffee, or a Japanese tea ceremony while you soak your feet in hot spring water. It's a great experience.

Espectacular lugar, después de caminar terminar aquí, bebí un jugo de mango por 990 yen. El lugar tiene música jazz y pones tus pies en una pequeña piscina con agua caliente, además tienen wifi y puedes pagar con tarjeta de crédito, ideal para relajarse después de caminarlo todo. Muy acogedor lugar este café y al mismo tiempo es una tienda de souvenir.
