熊本温泉巡りする時によく来ます。ここに来るまでの景色が由布岳より美しく感じてます。筋湯温泉街は道が本当に狭くて坂で…大きい車の人はヒヤヒヤするんじゃないかな？エンジェル君初めて来た8年前は3代目だとか。こちらを利用する時いつも夕方なのですが、2023年に久しぶりに行った時エンジェル君いなくてフロントに聞いたら「シフト外でして…最近は昼までしか出勤してません」と言われてめっちゃ笑いました。シフト制だったかぁꉂ🤣𐤔 お風呂はとっても広くていつも人が少ないから長風呂な私には最高。というか来ても海外の人が多い。シャワーは水圧ランダムで当たりを引くまで頑張ってひねりましょう。外の露天から続く階段を上がってずーっと歩くと雰囲気あるサウナがあります。こちらも大好きです(*´`)

立寄り湯で訪問しました。看板犬のエンジェル君で有名な温泉です。現在の立寄り料金は大人700円、子供400円。公式ＨＰ見ても立寄りの料金がパッと見で見当たらず、別のサイトでは大人1000円、割引クーポンで900円と記載ありました。フロントの方に割引クーポン見せたところ、これ古い情報ですねとの事。値下げしたのかちょっと得した気分！と同時にHPの料金も分かりやすくしといてよと思いました。さて温泉ですが、貴重品ロッカー100円バック無し、内湯、露天、樽風呂、サウナ、水風呂、打たせ湯、蒸し湯がありますサウナは100度前後、水風呂も冷たくて良いです。湯はヌルヌル感あり内湯は熱め、露天は2月で程よい温度、蒸し湯は露天から少し離れた所にあります。入浴中インバウンドの団体さんがやって来たので早めに出てましたが、再訪しても良いかと思いました。
