ABOUT

About this spot

Surrounded by the majestic nature of the Northern Alps, Okuhida Onsengo is the collective name for five distinctive hot spring areas: Hirayu, Fukuji, Shin-Hirayu, Tochio, and Shinhotaka. Boasting one of Japan's top spring flow rates, its biggest feature is spacious open-air baths everywhere, truly deserving the name "open-air bath paradise." Its seasonal scenery is also appealing, welcoming you with a different face whenever you visit: fresh green in spring, refreshing breezes in summer, blazing foliage in autumn, and fantastical snowy landscapes in winter. Seasonal events such as the winter "Aodaru" illumination and the "Kamakura Festival" are nostalgic scenes unique to Okuhida. Activities are plentiful, too. Ride the "Shinhotaka Ropeway" to enjoy a 360-degree panorama from above the clouds at 2,156 meters. Stroll the hot spring town leisurely with family, tour hidden hot springs with friends, or soak quietly in the great outdoors alone. Please experience supreme healing that frees both mind and body from everyday bustle.
