Point
The specialty of this place is to stroll around 7 sotoyu (public hot springs) in Yukata ( Japanese bathrobe). It would be quite atmospheric to make a tour from one sotoyu to another wearing Japanese wooden clogs called Geta, which make particular sound of footsteps. Even if the robe came undone, staff members of "Yukata Goikenban" scattered about in the city will redo your yukata.
