An Evening Trip to Yupika in Ono 小野市のスーパー銭湯:ゆぴか

Where's my FOOD! In the Yupika restaurant.
On Thursday evening we were able to sneak out and take a bath together. I talked Yuko into going to Yupika in Ono, about an hours drive from Nishinoimya on the Sanyo highway. I really wanted to go here because of it's rural location and the magnificent design of the building... not to mention the great water in the baths. Mia made friends with four ladies who went in at the same time as Yuko and Mia did. We all ended up chatting for a while in the resting room after exiting the baths. Letting Mia crawl around the big room was fun and she got some exercise knocking her out for the car ride home. Everyone smiles when seeing little Mia and we've met some really nice people because of her.

IT'S TOO HOT DADA!
In front of Yupika, like many super-sento there's a free footbath (足湯) that we all enjoyed. Well it was a bit hot for Mia as you can tell by her reaction!

Chubby footies and hot, hot mineral water.
Oh, and thanks for tea! :D
