    This is a day-trip onsen facility in Norikura Kogen highland in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture that was remodeled and reopened in 2013. Both the inner baths and rotemburo open-air baths allow patrons to take in the natural scenery of Mt. Norikura, and guests can enjoy the hot springs while enjoying their fill of the new green leaves in spring and the changing leaves in autumn. The warm water that is used is natural hot spring water with a milky-white color that is said to have relieved the tired body of warlord Shingen Takeda. There is also a rest area and restaurant on site, and visitors can relax here after strolling or skiing on the highland.

    乗鞍高原にある日帰り温泉。バスターミナルのある観光センターから道路を挟んだ反対側にあるのでアクセスは抜群。この温泉は、白濁した正真正銘の硫黄泉。硫黄の匂いがしないと温泉に入った気分にならないというマニアの人でも満足するに違いない。ただ、泉温が少し高めなので、長く入るのはちょっと苦しい。露天風呂もある。

    This day-trip hot spring facility is located in Hakuba Village, Kita-azumi County, Nagano Prefecture. It has gained popularity because you can see Mt. Hakuba, Mt. Shakushi and Mt. Hakubayari (Hakuba's three symbolic peaks) from the rotenburo (open-air baths) with Happo Ridge in the background. You can wear off fatigue while enjoying cherry blossoms in the rotenburo (open-air bath) during the spring. There is also a shop in the facility with plenty of souvenirs.

    I have not tried any other onsets so cannot really compare. Its a little onset, not much in English but there are so much information everywhere about the etiquettes of onset which I did not get...

    "A hot spring bathhouse located in Hokujo, Hakuba Village. The hot spring's waters, unique in Shinshu, contain salt and iron, and are characterized by their dark reddish-brown color and salty flavor. Visitors can soak themselves while taking in a view of the Alps in an outdoor bath constantly replenished ""kakenagashi"" style from a 100% natural source spring. The bathhouse also has an indoor rest area and a mallet golf ground on the east side of the facility that is free for customers."

    きれいな日帰り温泉施設です。真冬のよく晴れた日に行きました。JR白馬駅から白銀の峰々に感動しながらのんびり歩いて20分くらいです。平日の昼間だったので、空いていて、完全に独占状態で名湯を楽しめました。内湯も露天も源泉かけながし。ここの温泉が水素濃度が半端なく高いらしく、アンチエイジングに効果があるとか。そのおかげなのか、五十肩の痛みが消えました。なかなかの名湯です。広くはないですが、畳敷きの休憩コ...

    Obinata no Yu is the closest day-trip onsen resort to the source of the hot spring. The natural hydrogen spring is said to have anti-aging properties. It’s a popular place for lots of people on the way to Hakuba Daisekkei. From the open-air bath in the winter you can enjoy the snow covered surroundings outside. They also have separate individual bathtubs too. The use of washing facilities during the winter is not permitted. Shampoo and hairdryers are available free of charge. The hot spring sells their own towels and they can also be rented so you can turn up and take a bath whether you have brought your own towel or not.

    Obinata Onsen is nice real onsen close to Hakubata. It features one ”pool” with natural water at around 40c (it is little bit cooler in the far end). They provide towels and slippers. Drinks...

    This day-use bathhouse adjoins Fureai Yamabekan, a community center with a distinctive kura storehouse-style design consisting of white plaster walls and a tiled roof. The atmospheric bathhouse stands at the entranceway to the Utsukushigahara Plateau. The waters of the bathhouse' alkaline simple spring are colorless, flavorless, and odorless; somewhat tepid in temperature, they have a soft feel. The bathhouse is open from early in the morning until late at night year round, and as such if you time it right, you might just find yourself relaxing in what is effectively your own private hot spring bathhouse. There is a classroom on the second floor of the bathhouse where you can learn how to make soba noodles (advance reservation required) but be sure to make your reservation early - the bathhouse does not accept reservations the same day or one day in advance.

    松本駅から車で20分ほど。美ヶ原温泉の日帰り入浴施設。内湯と露天がありますが、かなりの人気で人が多いです。循環濾過で、温泉の力は感じられません。入浴料310円、駐車場はかなり広いです。

    Nagano Pref. Matsumotoshi Adumi 4181 (Shirahone Onsen)
    This famous ryokan (traditional Japanese inn) in Shirahone Onsen boasts over 100 years of history since its establishment. Visitors can enjoy the unique scenery of the season from the large outdoor bath; there is also an indoor bath and private reservable baths. All baths are continuously fed directly from a natural hot spring. The large outdoor bath is mixed sex; however, the bath’s opaque milky white waters and separate entrance for women have won it repute as being easy for women to enter compared to other mixed sex bathing facilities. Non-guests can also enjoy a day trip of bathing in the inn’s baths.

    管理も行き届いていないし不親切。 他にもっといい温泉が周辺にあるのでここを選ぶ必要はないと思います。白馬は基本的に客を客と思ってないところがあるので、慣れましたがこんな接客でもお客が来るなんてすごいですね。 どうしても、お金を払ってまで不快な思いを体験したい人におすすめです。

    A public bathing facility surrounded by the forests of Tobira Onsen deep in the mountains about 40 minutes outside of Matsumoto. The hot spring was initially excavated, and the simple alkaline spring flows freely from the source.

Bubbling up at an abundant rate of 300 liters per minute, you can bring some of the hot spring water home with you from the faucet outside.

    昨年お湯がよかったので、先日またキャンプのついでに行ったのですが、入口の引き戸から入ろうとしたら、横の窓の中から「県外?」と聞かれ、そうだといったら「県外はお断りだ」といわれました。あとで地元の人に聞いたら、近所の人が駐車場入り口で軽トラの中で見張っていて、県外っぽいと入口まで追いかけてきて入るなと言われることもあるそうです。そういう規則を作ったのなら、ホームページ等でしっかり情報を出すべきだし...

Nagano prefecture is an exciting mix of mountains, hot spring monkeys, and preserved Edo history. At the heart of the Japanese Alps, Nagano is one of the country’s most popular destinations, whether in winter for its snow sports and the much-loved Jigokudani Monkey Park or in the warmer months for discovering the undulating hills on foot. For fantastic Edo architecture, head to the Kiso Valley for a 60-kilometer stretch of quaint wooden buildings that marked the Nakasendo route 200 years ago.
