Nagano Shimotakai-gun Yamanouchimachi Hirao

A hot spring district with a long history which records state was discovered by the great priest Gyoki in the Nara period. The area boasts such a large number of source springs and such an abundance of hot spring water that you can dig practically anywhere into the ground and soon find piping hot water bubbling up from below. In addition to hot spring hotels, there are nine public bathhouses in the area, and visitors can go on the traditional Kyu-to Meguri pilgrimage and try all nine for free to compare and contrast (limited to persons staying overnight in the district). Each of the Kyu-to Meguri bathhouses makes use of a different source spring with differing water qualities, and pilgrims can get a special tenugui hand towel stamped at each bathhouse as proof of their visit. The pilgrimage ends with a visit to the Shibutaka Yakushi Temple, which offers a sweeping view of the district, to receive one final stamp that is said to grant one's wish as well as protection from misfortune, safe childbirth and child rearing, and youth and longevity.

Nagano Shimotakai-gun Nozawaonsenmura Toyosato

Sprawling at the foot of Mt. Kenashi, this is one of the most historic hot spring districts in the prefecture. There are various theories as to when the hot spring district was discovered. One belief is that it was found by the priest Gyoki (or an itinerate monk undergoing training) during the reign of Emperor Shomu, while another legend says that it was happened upon by a hunter following a wounded bear. Since the Edo period, the district has been lovingly maintained by the hands of local residents under a system called Yunakama, and today this system continues to preserve and service the area's abundant water flow and more than 30 source springs. In addition to bathhouses, the town is dotted with countless footbaths and 13 external bath areas for visitors to sample and enjoy.

There is a single entry door and a small foyer with seats before dividing into male and female onsens- useful for waiting for family members out of the cold. The water was slightly whitish, with...

Nagano Pref. Shimotakaigunkijimadairamura Ougou 5567-1

This hot spring facility is inside the “Maguse Hot Spring Park” in Ogo, Kijimadaira Village. Both the open-air bath that sits among the mountains and the Hinoki indoor bath offer a great view of the Northern Alps (Hida Mountains), not to mention the beauty of the various seasons. The facility also features a dining hall, a rest area, a shop, and lodgings without meals (short rests also allowed), so you can take multiple dips in the hot springs if you wish.

The Maguse Onsen was well worth the experience as were the Soba noodles at their cafe. The downside is if one does not have a vehicle you will be taken advantage of by the taxi service which charges...

Nagano Kamitakai-gun Takayamamura Maki 783

"A therapeutic hot spring in Takayama Village, known as one of ""Japan's most beautiful villages."" It's just a simple hot spring bath without features like an outdoor bath, sauna, or showers. Still, the water's temperature, quality, and concentration of components gives it healing properties and it's often busy. The sodium-calcium chloride spring warms you from the core, suppressing sweat and preventing the body from giving off heat. A bath with minimal ventilation, inhaling the hot spring fumes is said to help alleviate chronic bronchitis and asthma. It's an off-the-beaten-track hot spring standing alone in the mountains."
