Floated in the bathtub.

Bat offers products that are not commercialized by manufacturers in the city, which are often used by professional baseball players, and messages such as "Do not give your PIN to people" and "Do not answer suspicious calls" It has been written.



People who visited the facility read aloud the message written on the bat while soaking in the hot springs.



An 85-year-old man said, "I was surprised to see a bat floating in the hot springs. I thought I had to be more careful not to commit fraud."



Toyokawa Police Station Chief Toshihiro Saiki said, "I'm thinking of'beating back'the criminal of fraud with a bat. I want the elderly to know that they should be careful and share it with their families."
