On April 1, the hot spring facility "Fukuya" in Aomori (Michinoshita Shinyamachi, Hirakawa City) began offering the "Boring Busters!" hot spring delivery service.

This facility has a 100% free-flowing hot spring, a banquet hall, a private rest area, and a restaurant. The quality of the spring pumped up from 1000 meters underground is alkaline simple spring PH8.7, tasteless and odorless. Many group visitors and tourists come from outside the prefecture.

Mr. Kiyoto Mizuguchi, president, said, “The farewell party was canceled one after another due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, resulting in a loss of nearly 10 million yen in March alone. It is common sense to reduce the number of employees, but the idea that employees came up with to protect their work was the hot spring delivery service."

For home delivery, put a water tank on a light truck and carry 300 liters. "A bath for a general household is 250 to 300 liters. The hot spring temperature is 51 degrees, which is a suitable temperature during delivery, but it is limited to baths that can be repelled in order to warm it even if it becomes dull. Since it is alkaline, it is unlikely to hurt boilers," says Mizuguchi.

Regarding the reason for setting the service name to "Boring Busters", "For the purpose of getting rid of boredom for those who are stressed by going out, a movie that fights unknown enemies is the motif. Warm as humor I want you to watch over," says Mizuguchi.

Mr. Mizuguchi, when he sent the information on his personal SNS, he said that there were many favorable reactions and there was an unexpected share. "The Busters bath took a bath and used the English notation "BATHters" for the follower's idea. It's a self-restraining mood, and I'm happy if bright projects spread all over the country," he says with a smile.

The delivery areas are Hirakawa, Kuroishi, and Inakadate. The price is 2,000 yen. Applications can be received by phone (TEL 0172-55-0200) up to Fukuya.
