Amazing hot spring

When I went to Hakuba, I found a good hot spring. I don't like hot springs, but that hot spring was very interesting.
The hot spring was far from my lodge which was at the center of the city. On the way to the hot spring there is a tunnel of trees. I was nervous because there was nothing except trees. There were only some simple signs of the hot spring. After a while I was able to reach the hot spring. A man was sitting at a simple looking reception. I paid him and deposited my wallet in an uncomplicated lookin security box. There was a door behind the entrance. The door was also very plain. I can see the inside through the gap. I was surprised at what I saw when I opened the door. I saw a simple changing space and hot spring with no roof. The river runs beside the hot spring. I felt freedom with the healing sound of the river. Only little amounts of hot water was available from the fancet. Although the facilities were very simple, the scenery and atmosphere was amazing. It was my first time to ever think that a hot spring can be interesting.
