皆さん、こんにちは！新潟の温泉の魅力を紹介する「ガタの湯」です。今回は、新潟県長岡市が誇る歴史ある温泉地、蓬平温泉をご紹介します。長岡市の奥座敷として知られるこの温泉は、明治時代から湯治客を癒してきた由緒正しい場所なんです。
新潟市から車でたった1時間ちょっと。緑豊かな山々に囲まれた赤い橋を渡ると、そこには今回ご紹介する「和泉屋」が姿を現します。明治の頃から変わらぬおもてなしの心で、県内外から多くの方を迎え入れてきたこの温泉地。特に冬は、雪見風呂を目当てに訪れる方も多いんだとか。今回は、そんな和泉屋の魅力を存分にお伝えしていきます！
長い歴史を持つ和泉屋ですが、現代のニーズにも応える充実した設備が魅力です。その一つが、南館特別室「楓」。なんと、2世帯で利用可能な広々とした空間なんです！本間、次の間、そして洋室まであり、最大8名様まで宿泊できます。家族旅行はもちろん、三世代旅行にもピッタリ。お子様が走り回れるほどの広さは、まさに「家族の絆を深める空間」と言えるでしょう。
しかし、今回の目玉は何と言っても貸切露天風呂「やま野」です！その名の通り、山の自然に囲まれた露天風呂は、まるで大自然の中に浸かっているかのような感覚を味わえます。岩造りの風呂は、周囲の景色と見事に調和し、まさに「やま野」という名にふさわしい佇まい。
「やま野」で特に印象的なのが、お風呂のそばにいる「たぬき」のオブジェ。何やら拝んでいるような姿が、温泉情緒をさらに盛り上げてくれます。まるで、山の精霊がお客様を見守っているかのようですね。
さて、ここで温泉マニアの皆さんにうれしい情報です。蓬平温泉は「アルカリ性単純硫黄霊光泉」という、ちょっと舌を噛みそうな名前の温泉なんです。特筆すべきは、そのぬめり感。通常のお湯よりもとろみが強く、まさに「美肌の湯」と呼ぶにふさわしい温泉です。明治の頃から、その効能で多くの人々を魅了してきたんですね。「やま野」で、この美肌の湯を独り占めできるなんて、なんとも贅沢な体験です。
そして、温泉を楽しむ上で忘れてはいけないのが、入浴前の水分補給。実は、お風呂に入ると気づかないうちに汗をかいているんです。脱水症状を防ぐためにも、お部屋でお茶を飲んだり、水分を取ることが大切。これ、実は温泉旅館でお茶を飲む習慣の理由の一つなんですよ。
和泉屋には、「やま野」以外にも、「星の湯」や「月の湯」など、様々な温泉があります。それぞれに異なる雰囲気や効能があるので、滞在中に色々な温泉を巡るのも楽しいかもしれません。まるで、明治の湯治客になったような気分が味わえそうですね。
最後に、和泉屋では日帰り入浴も可能です。4時間のコースがあるので、宿泊が難しい方でも、蓬平温泉の魅力を存分に味わえますよ。
長岡の奥座敷、蓬平温泉。その魅力は、明治から受け継がれてきた伝統、広々とした客室、贅沢な貸切露天風呂「やま野」、そして美肌の湯と称されるアルカリ性の温泉。都会の喧騒を忘れ、歴史ある温泉地でゆったりと過ごす。そんな贅沢な時間を求めて、皆さんもぜひ一度、足を運んでみてはいかがでしょうか？
