1) 神様が発見! / A God's Discovery!
こういうお話を、'開湯伝説'というのかもしれませんが、『出雲国風土記』(733年) に記載されているというので、古い温泉地であることは信頼性がありますし、今日まで続いていることから、効能があることは事実なのでしょう。
"老若男女が毎日のように集い、市場をなすようで盛んに入り乱れて酒宴を楽しむ、とにぎやかな光景を活写。湯の効能を「一たび濯（すす）げば形容端正（かたちきらきら）しく、再び沐（ゆあみ）すれば万病悉（ことごと）く除（い）ゆ」と、一度入浴すると顔や肌が美しくなり、再びつかると万病が治るとし、必ず効き目があるので「神の湯」と呼ばれていたことを伝えている。"
神の湯! と聞けば、試してみたくなる人も多いことでしょう。
私はこのことを訪れたときには知りませんでした。
ただ美肌効果があると聞いていました。
何しろ、ツアーですから、運ばれるまま...という受け身な状態です。
実際、温泉に入ったあとは、肌はつるつるしましたし、入っているときも気持ちの良いお湯でした。
A God's Discovery!
Tamatukuri - Onsen (Hot Spring) is one of the oldest hot spring spas in Japan, they say it was established in the Nara period (710 -794).
They say a God Sukunabikona discovered here.
We call this type of story 'Opening Spa Legends / Kaito Densetsu' by which I think people would advertize their hot spring spa, however, "Izumokuni - fudoki" (733 A.D.) describes about here.
"Izumokuni - fudoki" are the records of Izumo Province about culture, geography, oral tradition myths and local gazetteer.
I think it is possible that this spring spa is indeed very old and it does some good for people.
According to the website of "The San-in Chuo Shimpo Newspaper Co.,Ltd.": ★ in Japanese. (Below : I translate myself)

| '神の湯'として... 神話の場面がオブジェになっています。 散策した時は'出雲大社'とのつながりからかと思っていましたが、 違ったのです。 'Hot Spring Spa of God' .... Objects show God Myth scenes along the streets. When we walked there, I thought the objects related with Izumo - taisha, however, they are different. |

"The record describes the flourishing "There are men and women of all ages who gather almost everyday, they enjoy their banquets and are as noisy as a market.", and the hot spring effectively "if you rise with the water, your face and skin could be beautiful, and if you are soaked again in the spa, all kinds of diseases could be fine, then people call it 'Hot Spring Spa of God'. "
I believe that if people hear there is a 'Hot Spring Spa of God', they would try to have it.
When I visited Tamatsukuri - Onsen, I did not know about the story, I only heard the water works for our skin which becomes beautiful after having the spa.
Actually my skin became smooth after the spa and while I soaked in the bath I felt comfortable.

2) '玉湯川' 沿い / Along 'Tamayu - Kawa / River'
A.'玉湯川' と宍道湖 / The River and Lake Shinji
温泉血の中心を流れる' 玉湯川' (下の地図の真ん中)は、宍道湖 (シンジコ/ 地図左) に注ぎ着きます。
ちなみに宍道湖は淡水湖ではなく、淡水と塩水が混ざる汽水湖です。
私はずっと淡水湖だと思っていました。

'Tamayu - River' (the central pale blue line) runs through the Spa Town
and flows into Lake Shinji : on the left pale blue.
By the way Lake Shinji is not a freshwater lake, it is a brackish lake.
For a long time I had thought Lake Shinji is a freshwater lake.
