The famous hot spring of Kusatsu Onsen Yubatake has its source flowing while raising steam.

The emerald green surface of the water is beautiful.
The source of Kusatsu Onsen flows into it, and lime is added to neutralize the strong acidity.
As a result, the surface of the water turns green or blue, and depending on the light, it appears this emerald green.

Loved by local residents for its stylish color known as maroon.

On the right side stand the Takarazuka Grand Theater and the Takarazuka Hotel.
The railway bridge belongs to the Hankyu Railway Imazu Line.

Deeply moved 💕

I had lunch at the Takarazuka Hotel before the performance.
It was delicious.

The Southern European–style exterior is so beautiful, isn’t it?

At Takarazuka Yume Hiroba, the bronze statue of the Takarasienne welcomes you with the words, “Welcome to the Takarazuka Grand Theater.”

It’s a great photo spot.
So beautiful!

Since around the summer solstice (June 21 this year), the sun has been setting about an hour earlier.
It’s still scorching hot during the day, but in the evening you can already hear the sounds of insects.
