The hot spring area is well-equipped. Although there are only two hot spring pools, the spa and children's pool are complete, suitable for the whole family to take a bath.

The tickets to Chulu Ranch are very cost-effective on weekdays, but unfortunately the weather was bad that day, with drizzling rain and thick fog, so we didn't see many cows. The milk ice cream was delicious, and it was very convenient to book tickets in advance.
