There should be an old famous building, Dougo Onsen, but we can not see.
They are rebuilding themselves now and surface were covered with Artwork of Mr. Shinro Ohtake.
The artwork is called “NETSU-KEI”,Energy Scope.
He figured out the image of hot spring and the people.

Long stairs to the main floor

It took a long time to reach the main floor.
The stairs are so many and long.
Maybe good for the exercise.
There were just married couple and his and her parents were taking a picture.
Not to divorce.

You may say hello to GOD.
There is a strict way to greet GOD but if you are not shinto just respect and call him on your mind.

I went to the hot spring, Onsen, famous “Asuka no yu“
Aska no yu
It is a modern hot spring and very economic.
You have to pay US$6 for entry and 50 cents for rental towel.
Almost 90 mins are allowed to stay. Only in the bath floor, grand floor.
If you want to spend more time and go upstairs you should pay more.
I do not know the fee. but you can.
