【廃墟】かつて『日本一の洞窟風呂』と呼ばれた宿の美しき末路に驚く50代男性【熊本県】水俣市・山海館

The final stop on my Kyushu road trip, Kumamoto edition, is Yunoko Onsen in Minamata City. While I wanted to soak in the hot springs, my main motivation was to see the massive abandoned building known as Sankaikan. Sankaikan was a five-story wooden building that filed for bankruptcy in 2015, leading to its closure. Of all the abandoned hotels I've seen, this one stood out as exceptionally impressive.
