Nuruyu
Onsen
Ryokan
Nikaido
in
the
mountains
of
Fukushima
City.
It
is
a
hot
spring
inn
that
retains
the
atmosphere
of
a
hot
spring
resort
from
a
long
time
ago,
located
on
a
narrow
mountain
road
that
cannot
be
passed
from
Fukushima
city
for
about
10
km
and
the
road
is
exhausted.
The
hot
springs
consist
of
only
indoor
baths
for
men
and
women,
a
wooden
source
tank
and
a
rising
bath
made
by
boiling
fresh
water.
The
spring
quality
is
acidic
with
a
pH
of
2.9,
iron-containing-aluminum-sulfate
spring,
colorless
and
transparent,
and
has
a
metallic
odor.
The
spring
temperature
was
31.8
℃,
which
was
mentioned
in
the
hot
spring
book,
so
I
imagined
it
was
cool,
but
the
bathtub
temperature
was
33.5
℃,
which
was
the
best
for
me.
Hot
water
was
poured
from
the
pipe
of
the
sprue
without
circulation
and
without
heating
and
adding
water,
and
it
was
spilling
from
the
edge
of
the
bathtub.
The
amount
of
gushing
is
about
200
liters
per
minute,
which
is
quite
abundant,
and
it
is
an
extremely
luxurious
and
comfortable
hot
water
messenger.
Check-in
at
the
ryokan
was
from
13:00,
and
when
I
went
to
the
bathroom
to
arrive
early
and
soak
in
slowly,
there
were
more
than
10
people
in
the
very
crowded
and
narrow
bathroom.
This
is
for
day
trippers,
and
the
density
has
dropped
considerably
after
15:00.
In
the
evenings
and
early
mornings,
I
had
time
to
be
alone,
so
I
forgot
the
time
and
soaked
for
a
long
time.
A
cute
cat
welcomes
you
at
this
ryokan.
The
building
is
an
old
wooden
structure,
and
the
partition
between
the
corridor
and
the
room
is
a
shoji
door!
This
is
lined
up
in
many
rooms.
When
you
walk
in
the
corridor,
you
will
hear
a
squeak,
and
the
wooden
frame
has
a
distorted
era.
There
are
no
screen
doors
in
the
sliding
doors
with
glass,
and
insects
can
enter
as
much
as
you
want.
You
can
enjoy
such
a
setting
as
a
taste.
The
food
was
rustic,
with
the
main
dish
being
grilled
duck
tiles.
As
far
as
I
could
see,
there
were
5
groups
of
customers,
but
3
of
them
were
single
customers,
and
there
were
also
young
women.
It
may
be
such
an
inn
where
you
can
slowly
and
quietly
face
the
hot
springs
and
yourself.

福島市の山中にある微温湯(ぬるゆ)温泉
旅館二階堂。福島市街からすれ違いのできない細い山道を10キロほども進み道路が尽きる場所にある一昔前の湯治場の風情を残す温泉宿です。
温泉は男女別の内湯のみで木組みの源泉槽と真水を沸かした上がり湯のみの構成です。泉質はpH
2.9
の酸性、含鉄-アルミニウム‐硫酸塩泉で無色透明、金属臭のするお湯です。泉温は31.8℃と温泉の本に記載されていたのでひんやりとしたお湯かと想像していましたが浴槽温度は33.5℃と私にとってのベストでした。循環なし、加温加水なしのかけ流しで湯口のパイプから盛大にお湯が注がれており、浴槽の縁からドバドバとこぼれていました。湧出量が毎分約200リットルとなかなか豊富で、極めて贅沢で気分の良い湯使いです。
旅館のチェックインが13時からで、早めに着いてゆっくり浸かろうと思い浴室に行くと大混雑で狭い浴室に10人以上の人が入っていました。これは日帰り利用の方たちのためで、15時以降になるとかなり密度が低くなりました。夜や早朝には一人きりの時間もあり時間を忘れて長時間浸かりました。
この旅館はかわいらしいネコが出迎えてくれます。建物は古い木造で、廊下と部屋の仕切りは障子戸!これが何部屋も並んでいます。廊下を歩くとミシミシ鳴り、木枠の桟に歪みのある時代ガラスがはまった引き戸にはもちろん網戸などなく、虫が入り放題。そんな設えも風情として楽しめます。料理は鴨の瓦焼きをメインにした田舎料理で素朴でした。
見た限り5組のお客がいましたがそのうち3組は一人客で、若めの女性もいらっしゃいました。じっくりと静かに温泉と自分に向き合う、そんな宿かもしれません。
