10:00 Municipal Kannawa Steam Bath
Kannawa Steam Bath, a symbol of Kannawa Onsen, is a traditional hot spring facility said to have been opened by the monk Ippen Shonin during the Kamakura period. Opening the wooden door measuring one meter square, one enters a stone chamber of about eight tatami mats in size. Medicinal herbs are spread out on the floor, heated by the steam from the hot spring, and people lie down on top of them to bathe. After working up a sweat, one can relax both body and mind with a leisurely soak in the high-quality hot spring water. (The bath takes about 30 minutes.)
