普段は露天風呂が浴場の外にあるけれど、亀清のメインのお風呂の場合は、浴場の外に２階からの非常階段が邪魔しています。従って、露天風呂を造った時に仕方がなく、脱衣室の方から行けるようにしました。「若旦那の手造り露天風呂はこっち-->」って看板を立てたにかかわらず、「あっ、露天風呂があったの？」と後で言われた事が多かったです。「せっかく作ったのに」と悔しくて自分で思っちゃって・・・。
と言うことで、改善！今度、こんなに大きい看板を作ってみました。ちょうどいい板があって、ステインを塗って、黒いペンキで書きました。これでお客様の皆様に亀清の「１００年風呂」露天風呂も楽しんでいただけるでしょう。
Most open air "rotenburo" baths are located directly outside the inside baths. However, when I built the one outside Kamesei's main inside bath, I had to put the entrance off the clothes-changing room since the emergency stairs blocked the access from the main bath. I put a little sign up to show the guests the location, but apparently it's too small. There have been numerous times when guests have said, "What? There was an outdoor bath?" I'm sure the guests were disappointed they missed it, but it was frustrating for me, too, considering all the work that went in to making that bath.
Anyways, I went ahead and made a new and improved sign for the bath. I had just the perfect piece of wood for it, stained it, and painted the wording. Now hopefully all of our guests will be able to enjoy Kamesei's "100 Year Bath" outdoor bath!
