<Tourist spots to visit> There are many tourist spots perfect for historical exploration, such as "Mibu-dera Temple" famous for the Shinsengumi, and "Shimabara" where not only banquets but also literary arts such as poetry and haiku were popular. There are many stylish shops such as pottery shops and cafes. The best thing is that there are few tourists, so you can enjoy sightseeing at your own pace. <Hot springs to visit> We will head to "Makoto no Yu" at Matsuei Ryokan or "Mibu Onsen Hana no Yu". Many people may not have a good idea of what hot springs are in the city of Kyoto, but there are several recommended hot springs and public baths. I will not only guide you to the hot springs, but I will also bathe with you and teach you how to enter the bathtub and how to use the jet bath, which are effective for recovering from fatigue and relieving stress. I have taught how to bathe in hot springs to more than 100 people so far, so I think you will find it interesting just to hear how to bathe in a hot spring! ~Experience flow~ 9:50 Meet We will be waiting for you at the ticket gate of JR Tanbaguchi Station. 10:00 Departure Walk comfortably while looking at the cityscape of Kyoto. 10:00-11:00 Explore Shimabara and Mibu.
