掲載日:2021.07.12
Sakakibara, TsuCity is an area where Sakakibara Onsen, which has a deep connection to IseJingu, is located.
This time, I participated in an experience program where you can enjoy Nordic walking while looking at Sakakibara Onsen and the countryside surrounded by mountains and fields!
The program includes a day-trip bath at Sakakibara Onsen and a delicious boxed lunch, so you'll be very satisfied! I will report on a healthy day that will satisfy your mind and body!
In the old days, it was called Nanakuri Kamimura, but the name came from the fact that Sakaki, which grew wild in this area, was presented to IseJingu and used in rituals. It is said that the place name became ``Sakakibara''.
Sakakibara Onsen, which is also a transit point from Kyoto to Ise, is also a hot spring that has been closely associated with IseJingu since ancient times as the place of ``bath spa''!
*Yugori means to purify yourself with hot water.
From the Kamakura period to the Muromachi period, many poems were composed about Sakakibara Onsen as a ``love hot spring cure'' to heal the illness of love.
What's more, it's also known as a hot spring for beautiful skin because it leaves your skin smooth and smooth after bathing, and it's expected to have preventive medicine effects, antioxidant effects, and more, so it's truly a hot spring full of good things!
This time, I participated in one of them, "Sakakibara Nordic Walking"♪
By using these poles, you can reduce the burden on your lower back and knees, you can keep your stride wider than normal walking, and you can also train your upper body by swinging your arms back and forth, so you can train your entire body efficiently. You can exercise!
A footbath before walking is something you can only do at a hot spring area.
I'm floating a bag of Heutomi in the hot water that I just brought in this morning.
Soaking in this footbath for 10 to 15 minutes before walking is said to have the effect of promoting blood circulation, making it easier to move, and relieving muscle pain after exercise!
Your body will also feel warm♪
Most of the participants on this day were beginners, but the lectures were thorough so don't worry.
Let's go for a walk in Sakakibara town!
The interview took place in late June. Vibrant hydrangeas bloom along the riverside road, adding color to the scenery.
The sound of the flowing river is also soothing.
The lush rice seedlings swaying in the wind is a unique sight to see at this time of year. It looks very beautiful against today's blue sky.
This is something that the children of Sakakibara take the lead in planting and creating every year, and it has now become a summer tradition in Sakakibara.
This year's theme is the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic torch designed by local elementary school students!
*The best time to see them is until around August.
By walking on a variety of paths, including paved roads, uneven grassy roads, and slopes, you will never get tired of walking, and you will be able to reach the end of your walk in no time.
This is a "hot spring stand" where you can purchase 20 liters of hot spring water for 10 yen.
These spots are also highlights that can only be found in hot spring areas.
After completing the cool-down exercises, fill out the questionnaire.
``I feel like my legs aren't as tired as walking normally'' ``It's good for my arms!'' ``The weather was nice and the scenery was beautiful and it felt good'' ``Even though I usually drive by, I don't walk.'' There were various comments from everyone, such as "I'm glad I was able to walk on the road."
I look forward to the contents of the lunch box every time, and on this day it was a roast beef bowl from “Kitchen Shiro” which just opened in Sakakibara in 2020 ♪
Let's heal the fatigue of walking at Sakakibara Onsen before heading home!
In addition to this program, you can enjoy various experience programs in the Sakakibara area ♪
A trail guided tour where you can ride a mountain bike through the forest from AoyamaPlateau to Sakakibara.
You can enjoy the exhilarating feeling of running on a specially prepared trail course that takes advantage of the natural topography! Don't worry, you will be transported by car for the climb♪
As you can see from the landscape of expanding fields, the Sakakibara area is home to many people who grow vegetables in their own fields.
You can ride your bicycle to the fields of Sakakibara and enjoy interacting with the locals, harvesting delicious vegetables yourself, shopping, and even meeting and talking with the farmers who grow them. It's a program!
It also brings joy and fulfillment to the farmers of Sakakibara.
Sakakibara has four unique hospitals, including baths with hot spring water!
Taking advantage of these characteristics, ``Onsen Doc'' is a program that is currently under development in collaboration with local hospitals to ``become healthy in Sakakibara'' by combining Sakakibara Onsen and medical care with activities and meals!
We are looking forward to the hot spring x medical program unique to Sakakibara!
The appeal of all of the above programs is that you can enjoy a day trip bath at Sakakibara Onsen!
The organization that implements these activities is the Sakakibara Regional Farm Stay Promotion Council.
``You can enjoy the whole day at Sakakibara, including experiences, meals, hot springs, and lodging.We hope that by having customers come, the accommodation facilities and local farmers will be happy as well,'' the council said. Everyone spoke.
You can forget about the hustle and bustle of everyday life and have a relaxing time with your entire body.
