Suzumeno-Yu Reborn

It was once considered only natural for hot springs in Japan to have mixed bathing with men and women in the olden days. However, as time passed, this was banned. Nowadays, mixed bathing is only available in a limited number of old hot springs. The same also applies to Jigoku Onsen; it is only Suzumeno-Yu that has had mixed bathing since long ago. This cultured continued as though it was only natural up to the earthquake. Of course, a time slot just for women was established to suit the times, but this was not enough to satisfy everyone. The earthquake then struck and the building collapsed. During this period, there was plenty of time to think about whether to return Jigoku Onsen back to how it was in olden times or whether to restore it anew looking to the next 100 years. Suzumeno-Yu will be reborn in April 2019. Suzumeno-Yu, where anyone can feel free to enter, will become a hot spring you can get into after putting on bathing clothes. We will also build indoor baths where men and women can enter naked separately. This will lead to Suzumeno-Yu being reborn as a spa resort where you can enjoy a hot spring. First, we will start with the reconstruction of Suzumeno-Yu.
