Next is Katakura spring.
Katakura spring has a big luxury marble bathroom.

The bottom of the bath has the gravels. Gravel has also acupressure effect of the sole.
This spring has a deep bath room.
We have to stand up in this bath.

At 2nd floor, big rest room is existing.
Going to veranda, we can see beautiful overview of Lake Suwa.

Supper is cold soba noodles with Tempra at Yasu soba shop.
It is delicious.

Lake Suwa has a Fireworks for a long time from August to middle of September.

Black shrine is big and powerful.

Next is Automn Shrine.
