Sendai Ryokusuitei Hot Spring (May2015)

While you are on holiday in Japan, you just  can't miss the hot spring there!

Because I am in the habit of planning my holiday on the day before, I didn't book a overnight plan....But I managed to find a Outdoor hot spring!

The one I went is called Ryokusuitei Resort

You can take the free shuttle bus that will take you from the Sendai station (East exit) at 11am everyday. But there is only one shuttle bus, so don't miss the bus! The bus also takes you back to Sendai station at 2pm every day. So I guess it's a short period of time if you want to take the return bus. ( see this web for access info: http://www.ryokusuitei.co.jp/access.html)

The lobby

You will walk along this corridor to reach the hot spring.




The daily entrance ticket costed 1200yen and it was quite an expensive one if you compare to other hot spring places in Japan.
(I think they normally cost like 600yen?)

Reaching the female hotspring!







 There is indoor part and out door part. (please note that you are not allowed to bring your camera inside any hotspring areas because people are naked. But on that day, seeming that no one was there... haha.. )

 Walking out of that door you will go down the stair to find the outdoor hot spring.

This was my first time enjoying natural Japanese hot spring, so although I went along, I had a very relaxing time, singing as loudly as I want at the mean while XD


Then time to leave.... cos it's 2pm (shuttle bus)



You just have to wait outside the resort and the mini bus is there.


The photo on the right is what you will see when you stepped out of the resort.

 If you have time, it's worth some time to look around the outside bit of the resort cos the flowers are pretty beautiful.
