10月まじかる足かるツアー/October Magical Physical Tour

先日、まじかる足かるツアーと題して、「養生」をキーワードにしたツアーを開催しました。

The other day Tabinomushi had a tour to be healthier, tittled "Magical Physical."


まちあるき・銭湯・足つぼが盛り込まれたこのツアーは、歩く距離が長いにも関わらず、参加者の皆さまがツアー終了時には「足が軽い!」「もっと歩けそう!」と笑顔で感想をおっしゃっていました。

The tour included a town walking tour, experience of sento (Japanese public bath), and Ashitsubo (foot massage) service. Though we walked a lot, all participants smiled and said "I feel better!" "I feel like walking more!" at the end of the tour.


当日は、JR二条駅に集合し、スタート。

We met up at JR Nijo Station.

Guide Yuri


平安時代の人々の生活や、歩いていただろう距離をテーマに、今はほとんど残っていない遺構をたずねて歩きます。

We walked with stories of Heian era, basically around 12th century. The buildings are not remained but the stories were enough to imagine how people had lived at that time.

適度に休憩を挟みながら、速すぎず、遅すぎないペースではあるものの、やはりしばらくすると疲れてくるもの。

We walked not too slowly, not too fast, but after a while, everyone got tired even though we had some rest and snack.


ちょうど良いタイミングで銭湯に到着です。

We arrived at the sento (Japanese public bath) at the best timing.

源湯/ Sento Minamoto Yu


銭湯では、薪をくべるところを見せていただき、まるで千と千尋の神隠しのよう!

We had a surpring chance to see how they heat water with wood. Woodburning one took us back to a famous Ghibli movie of Spirited Away.

源湯/ Sento Minamoto Yu


特別に用意していただいた青みかん風呂も楽しめました。

To add more, they specifically prepared a bath with fresh mikan -Japanese orange.


銭湯からあがると順番に足つぼタイム。腕利きの足つぼ師による施術です。

After taking a bath, they all had Ashitsubo one after another. The reflexologist was a very professional!


皆さま、痛気持ちいいのに耐えながら、終わった後には体の軽さに思わずニッコリ。

Everybody endured the pressure while the treatment saying ouch! and laugh. After it, they can't help saying wonderful words how smoothly they can move their body.

足つぼ/ Ashitsubo


最後は #北野天満宮 で解散しました。

We finished up at #Kitanotenmangu Shrine.


ご参加ありがとうございました!

Thank you very much for joining the tour!
