This place is all about peace and relaxation.
It's not a busy, touristy hot spring street.
The most famous part is the open‑air mixed bath where you soak right by the river.
Coming in winter feels especially nice. The water is very hot but not harsh.
The surroundings feel very natural, and at night it's almost completely quiet.
Perfect if you want to clear your mind and take your time soaking.

Uji Bridge (Kyoto)

Stepping out of the ticket gates at Keihan Uji Station, the first thing that catches your eye is Uji's landmark, the Uji Bridge. According to the "Uji Bridge Monument" at Hashidera Hojo-in, it is said to have been built in the second year of the Taika era (646) during the Asuka period by a monk named Doto from the Nara temple of Gango-ji, making it one of Japan’s three ancient bridges alongside the Seta no Karahashi and Yamazaki Bridge.

Yakiago Shio Ramen Takahashi, Shinjuku Main Store

An elegant Japanese-style ramen restaurant. The soup combines a broth made from domestic pork bones and chicken carcass, with the main ingredient being "Yakiago" - flying fish dried and grilled. Multiple types of seafood broth are layered in the mix. For the salt seasoning, "Yakiago" prepared using Takahashi's unique method is used, combining broth extracted at two different temperatures with salt from Okinawa. The refined and delicious flavor of the premium ingredient "Yakiago" is a highlight.

The Yakiago salt ramen has a rich broth that blends the umami of flying fish with pork bone soup. The flavor is definitely intense. Here, after finishing your ramen, you can get a bowl of white rice and pour the leftover soup over it to make ochazuke. Maybe it's just a cultural difference, but honestly, I find the combination of ramen and rice a bit strange.
