Visiting Natural Hot Spring Heiwajima with Keikyu Shareholder Benefits
I've been to quite a few facilities covered by Keikyu shareholder benefits.
For the first day of Golden Week, I went to Heiwajima, which I had never visited before.
Yes, my 10-day holiday starts today! So, I enjoyed myself with the weekday relaxing plan for 2,300 yen minus a 500 yen discount, plus half-price bedrock bathing for 300 yen, totaling 2,100 yen.
Actually, I wasn't sure about the bedrock bath since I don't really like it that much, but I decided to add it since it was half-price. It turned out the loyly was in the bedrock bath area, so I thought, 'That was close, I'm glad I added it.'
Also, I arrived around 11:00 AM when it opened, and there was already a line of about 10 people.
Even on a Friday morning, it's popular, isn't it?
When I added the bedrock bath, they asked if I wanted to reserve a spot for the loyly, so I booked the earliest one at 1:00 PM.
As it turned out, the 1:00 PM session was fully booked.
I wonder if that's why so many people arrived at 11:00 AM.
Anyway, I first took a bath and then looked around the facility.
There were a ton of manga.
Also, there is a women-only relaxation room, though I suppose that's common everywhere these days.
Come to think of it, there was a sign in the general relaxation room that said something like 'Consideration Room (for those who snore),' which made me laugh.
Honestly, there was someone snoring away in the women's relaxation room, though.
The premium lounge was completely empty.
That said, even on Friday, April 28th, the women's relaxation room was almost full, so during Golden Week, it might be less stressful to just pay the extra 500 yen to reserve a spot.
Also, there are power outlets at the chairs in the relaxation room.
I'm grateful for that.
But wow, this was my second time doing loyly, and I was so surprised.
Last time, I sat on the bottom row, but this time I sat on the top row.
It's a two-part session; I sweated a lot during the first part, and then after a short break, they asked if I was ready for the 'super hot' part. I thought, 'Sure, whatever,' but it was unbelievable.
When the wind hit, my toes were burning! It was amazing!
It was a first-time experience.
When it ended, I rushed out of the sauna, and even though I hadn't been running, my heart was pounding and I was gasping for air.
And I couldn't stop sweating at all.
It was so much fun!
In the end, I took another bath to wash off the sweat from the loyly before heading home.
Man, I'm so satisfied!
Miurayu is closer and I like its laid-back vibe, but Natural Hot Spring Heiwajima felt like an attraction.
I think I'll go again in early autumn.
I'm looking forward to the next Keikyu shareholder benefit booklet arriving!
(Though the booklet probably won't arrive until around the end of June...)
