【秘湯発見‼】福島で名湯をハント‼心と体を癒す旅♨〈旅人・ ますだおかだ増田〉

Masuda Okada Masuda’s trip to Fukushima Dake Onsen. I strolled down the main street of Dake Onsen. The first people I encountered in the hot spring town were some people on a tour. Hello. Hello. Sauce pork cutlet bowl. Hello. Is it delicious ? It’s quite famous. It seems like the Sauce Kadon is popular with locals too. How many times have you been here? How long have you been waiting? How long? Yesterday afternoon. What? Another guy from yesterday afternoon? That’s not his style. Is this outside the hot springs? I’m also curious about Hatatake Onsen Sauce Kadon. A sweet smell is bothering me from this side. Oh, Mr. Owner. Yes. This one, oh, what’s your name? The third generation. The third. You’re still young, aren’t you? No, you’re already over 50. Oh, I see. This is it, oh, they put up a sign. What was it called? Kurogayaki. Kurogayaki. Grilled. Really. It’s definitely delicious. Grilled. It’s freshly baked. Let’s eat. Here you go. Oh, it smells so good. Wow, the eggs smell so good. Ah , yes. No, really, it’s tamagoyaki. Ah, it’s delicious. This crispy part is so good. Yes. It gets moist as time passes, I see . The ingredients are just castella dough and the filling. Its simple flavor, unchanged since 1955, is a specialty that could be said to be the symbol of the Onsen line . By the way, Sora Gane, named after the mountain hut of Atayama, is one of the charms of this town, and the same goes for Mt. Mada. After all, if you come to Take Onsen, you should take a bath in the hot springs, right? Yes. There’s a public bath under that traffic light. Yes. Yes. Yes. That place is special. Oh, do locals go there too? Yes. When I was little , I often went there. After school, or rather, I would make plans with friends and go to the public bath there at night. It was a luxury. It’s like the freshness. It’s famous for being hot. Oh, is it hot? Yes . Yes. Oh, is the water thick? Excuse me, Takenoyu. I heard it’s really hot? It’s hot. Yes. It’s hot. Yes. There’s a place to get the water out. Oh, that’s right. Yes. Just bury yourself in there and get in. I understand. This facility offers both day trips and overnight stays. It’s a public bathhouse beloved by locals, and it’s also an old-fashioned place from back then. The term Showa retro really fits. It’s quite unusual to see an inn from back then located above a public bathhouse . Do you have lots of hands? So many hands? It’s fine. Please come in. Oh, what would you like to do? Oh, it’s hot. Is it okay, sir? I’m fine. Sorry about that. Do you like it hot, sir? No, no , I think the other customers probably like it hot. Ah, it’s hot. Oh, are you a craftsman? I was originally on the construction site. Yes, yes, yes. What’s it been like for the past week? Oh, you’ve been going? Yes. No, but your skin is so smooth. It’s beautiful. Oh, it’s true. It’s delicious. No, no, no, no, no. Oh, that’s right. Yeah. My mom is there, yes. It’s about Ha, so it’s fine. My parents are sitting next to me now, 8484. Ah. Oh, her skin is so smooth. Smooth. Smooth. Smooth. Smooth. Smooth. Can I add background later? Oh, please. Wow. Yeah. Oh, it’s that hot? Wow. The water temperature is a whopping 51°. It’s really luxurious, hot water drawn 8km from the mountains flowing effortlessly. Oh, Matsuda-san, yes. Do you know Yumo-san? Yumori-san. Yes. Yumori-san are that ones, right? The people who protect the hot water. Right. Well, yes. Protecting the hot water. Yes. Yes. Yes. Well, that’s what you think, well, basically, about four hot springs, yeah. So it gets soggy. Oh, I see. If you don’t go for a week or two, the water gets soggy quickly. Ah, that’s because the hot spring deposits get more and more clogged in the Haifu and it becomes thinner. Oh , so your husband isn’t named Yu-san? No. No. I’m grateful to Yumori-san and it’s wonderful that you always go in. It’s hot though. It does feel like you’re in a hot spring. But it’s better to take breaks while you’re in. Ah, Ochi-san. Ah, sorry big brother. Yes . Mother. Yes. Which one is the young lady? It’s your mother. Mother. Your brother’s mother. That’s right. Please go across. Huh? We have time for that. Mother. The effects of the hot spring. Yes. Yeah. Are you healthy too? Yes. I heard that you and your child go to this hot spring every Sunday. You two seem to be close. I’m off lunchtime a little and heading to the Saucekadon. Excuse me. Welcome. Thank you. Please. Sorry . No, there was a huge queue when I got here earlier. Yes. Yes. I just went to the hot spring. Yes. How was the hot spring? It was hot, wasn’t it? Because it was hot. Well, the heat is what makes it good . Yes, it felt great. You can choose between fillet and loin, so I prefer fillet. Is that okay? Fillet. Oh, here you go. Yes, thank you. Then, I’ll prepare the fillet. Sorry to keep you waiting. Ok, that’s fillet. Here you go. Thank you. Wow, it’s huge. Oh, is this a wave? Yes. Is this a wave? Yes. Oh, is it all like this? Yes. Well, it’s pretty standard. Wow, a Saucekadon with two thick pieces of fillet on top. The price for this wave is 1,850 yen. The freshly fried pork fillet cutlet is seasoned with the traditional sauce handed down from the previous chef. It’s incredibly thick, too. Oh, here it comes. Oh , it’s delicious. It’s delicious. It’s delicious. It’s delicious. It’s delicious. The sauce is also good. There ‘s more. Yes. Yes. I’ll eat it slowly. Here you go. That ‘s why those guys were waiting so long. It takes time to eat this. That’s true. The turnover is slow, isn’t it? Well, to be honest, it has the worst turnover rate. Right? Yes. The restaurant opened in 1948, shortly after the war. Well, it was right after the war, so the founder’s memories are that he just wanted people to eat their fill. This is my grandfather, Isan. They started serving rice curry right after the war. Then, in 1955, they started serving sauce-kadon . He just wanted people to eat their fill. It seems like a large serving always brings a smile to people’s faces. Now, it’s time for Tayama’s selection. Hello. I’m accompanying Yu-san to the spot next to the mountain, 1500m above sea level. I’ll be the leader today. Thank you, Takeda-san. I wish we’d come in winter. When is the hardest time in winter? Winter. Oh, you mean winter? Well, I’m glad it was today. In winter, Mt. Ata has sections that exceed 3m. Even so, everyone at Yuri works and walks up the mountain every Monday. In summer, you can use your car up to halfway, but it’s still a long way off. Ah, the view I saw yesterday. Ah, we’ve come this far. Wow. Yes, it’s a real sky. It’s still blue, Ao-san. It’s getting even bluer. Is it even bluer? Yes. It’s so beautiful. We’re almost there. I can see it. I can see it. Can the hot spring continue to flow through here? Yes. Yes, this is where we’re going. This is the tough part. So this is what it is like. Really tough . Beautiful. Really beautiful. It doesn’t smell much. How many kilometers is it from here? Only 8kg from the bottom, the hot water will rise to the hot spring over the course of about 40 minutes. It will flow. Even though it is a spring where hot water gushes forth, it is not enough to just let it flow. This is the hot water inside the pipe. Ah, so in the end the pipe becomes narrow. There’s a lot of hot spring deposits on the inside of the pipes, right? If you don’t clean them, they’ll get more and more clogged. If you don’t remove them when they soften, they won’t come off. If you leave them alone, they’ll harden. Yes. This cleaning is called yunagashi. It seems it has to be done once a week to keep the hot spring flowing smoothly . This is the stirrer. Yes. A special stirrer. Yes. If you put this in here, it will remove the deposits that have stuck around the can. That’s right. Here it comes. And then you pull it from below. I heard that this hot spring didn’t stop even when the electricity and gas were cut off during the Great East Japan Earthquake. That’s because the Yuri people continued to do this work as always . Here it comes. It comes out. Is this handmade? It is handmade. Yes, this shape is the best. Yes. I see. Good, good. Yes. Under the blue sky, there is work at Yumori. That’s why we can enjoy the hot spring again today. After work, we recommend heading to the open-air bath. No, it’s milky. It’s so white. So white. The heat is still as hot as ever. So hot. After cleaning, hot water flows down from the mountain, turning the water pure white. That’s why every Monday, when the water is rinsed, is called Milky Day. It really does feel like a hot spring. Elder, please give me a massage. How are the flowers today? Yes. Not bad. Not bad, but still nothing. Yes. Yes. After seeing that work, I wonder why these hot springs are preserved. Yeah. Between yesterday and today, I feel a lot more grateful. It’s gratitude. Monday, every Monday. Are you listening? I guess the real leader doesn’t say much. After this, I’ll have all-you-can-eat peaches, my favorite. This is Masuda Okada Masuda’s Fukushima, on the outskirts of Fukushima City. Kajuen are ubiquitous, taking advantage of the hot summers and cold winters of the region’s climate. National Route 13 is so close that it’s also known as the Peach Line. Good morning. Thank you for your help. The president is here. Oh, the president is so flashy. Nice to meet you, president. Welcome in. Thank you for waiting. That’s totally peach. You’ve drawn a peach. Thank you. Wait a moment. Is this the town’s famous character? Not really. Not at all . Yes. This is a peach hanging scroll. Wait, are there really that many types of peaches? Yes, there are. There are so many varieties of peaches, and we harvest for just under three months , so we make about 20 to 25 different types of sake. We have a peach picking set. Ah. Oh, I see. And, if there’s a knife in here, that means you can eat them right away. That’s the last one. Wow, how pretty. Yes. This is Kawanaka. This is Kawanakajima Shirojima. This is Kawanakajima Shirojima, the president’s favorite. Yes. There is a ripening order. A ripening order. Yes. The best ones ripen from higher up. Ah, so I thought we’d turn this away from the place where the fire is hitting it . Yes, we don’t . We harvest without using a knife or scissors. Yes. Is that so? That knife is only for cutting the skin when eating. That’s it. Yes. So, hold the branch firmly and gently hold the peach. Yes. Then, pull it straight along the branch and you’ll get it. Oh, is that okay? Is that all? Yes. Pull it along the branch without turning it. Like this. Ah, vertically, vertically along the branch. Yes. Thank you. Are you listening? Vertically. I’m listening. Vertical, vertical. Pick it vertically. Thank you very much. It’s all out of love, Masuda-san. And the harvesting tools too. Ah, I see. So that’s how it goes. Ah, we got it. Ah, that’s good. Yes. The sound is nice too. We got it. We got it without any damage. Yes. There are no scratches. Two days after harvest, they’re ripe and melt-in-your-mouth. Wow, these peaches are dripping. The tastiest part is the face. I think they’re even more delicious that way. Here, please. This, this. Wow. Thank you. It’s a shame to waste the dripping juice. How about Fukushima Prefecture, and this area too? Has it been affected since the earthquake? Yes. That’s right. Yeah. It’s been a few years, but there was an impact at the time. Compared to before the earthquake, the number of customers was down to 10% immediately after the disaster, and we received a lot of support . Now, I feel like the impact has mostly faded. Ah, these peaches have been a big hit at the cafe on the farm for the past few years. They ‘re featured on social media, and the luxurious taste is made with whole peaches, which is only possible on a farm. Wonderful. Yeah. Once the peaches are over, pear, grape, and apple season will arrive at Kajie. It’s the best, isn’t it? Think of it as a hot spring. It’s the perfect combination. For me, at least. I had never heard of hot springs before coming here, so I was reminded that there are still many wonderful hot spring towns and areas I haven’t discovered yet. Everyone is so wonderful , isn’t they? Yes. I was able to see the real sky for the last time.
