Sugatani Onsen is a hidden place where you have a high chance of seeing fireflies. You can see Genji fireflies. There is a quaint open-air bath, and the hot spring is effective for neuralgia, muscle pain, stiff shoulders, poor circulation, gastrointestinal disorders, and fatigue recovery. The meals are made with local ingredients and were delicious.

There is a free shuttle bus from the inn to the firefly viewing spot. You can enjoy Buffet and barbecue plans that make use of local ingredients. I was able to enjoy a variety of dishes, including Hyogo Prefecture's famous Tajima beef and seafood bowls from the Sea of Japan. This inn is soothing, with an open-air bath where you can feel the pleasant breeze of the plateau.

Located in front of the Oku-Hida Toy Museum in Nakao Onsen, Oku-Hida Onsen Village, "Furuan Minshuku Takizawa" is a hideaway inn with an old-style house. In the summer, you can enjoy fireflies around the inn. In addition, the two indoor baths and the two open-air baths are all family baths. Another recommended point is that you can enjoy the hot springs with just your family without worrying about other guests. In addition, there are plenty of spots for children to enjoy, such as the Oku-Hida Toy Museum, the sacred places Nakao Hakusan Shrine, and the Gassho no Mori Nakao Campsite, which are nearby.

Basically, meals are served in the room, so it's safe even if you have children. The food is very delicious, and they grill dried fish for breakfast. This is the only hotel in Arima Onsen where you can bathe in both Kinsen and Ginsen. The open-air bath in independent guest cottages building is also great. At night, they will take you by bus to a nearby river to watch the fireflies.

Although it is quite far from Osaka, how about visiting Minakami hot spring in Gunma, which is famous for its hot hot spring? After dinner at the inn, you will be taken to a spot where you can watch fireflies by the inn's minibus at around 8pm, which is convenient. You can enjoy various types of hot spring, such as hot spring open-air bath garden bath, an indoor cypress bath, and an apple bath with many apples floating in it (only for women). The "Haniwa bath" in particular is very unique, with a large tile mural that is impressive and gives off a retro Showa-era atmosphere. Meals are mainly charcoal-grilled dishes, which I think children will also enjoy.

There is a course where you can enjoy fireflies, so you can easily enjoy them. Children can also play to their heart's content in the sea of Awaji Island all day long, and adults can also enjoy delicious food and hospitality. It is also close to Osaka, so it is a great place for sightseeing in Awaji Island.
