Hayataro Onsen

The Hayataro Onsenkyo village, situated at the foot of the Central Alps, was named after the legend of a dog named Hayataro that was kept by the Kozenji Temple. The waters of the area's simple alkaline hot springs, selected for a list of some of Japan's 100 best, are colorless, odorless, and slippery to the touch. Here visitors will find distinctive hot spring hotels, ryokan inns, government-run lodging houses, and day trip bathhouses; regardless of where you go, you're sure to be able to enjoy a relaxing soak and beautiful, seasonal scenery. There are also an abundance of area sightseeing destinations, such as Komagatake Highland; Komagaike Pond, particularly known for its beautiful spring cherry blossoms and fall foliage; and the aforementioned Kozenji Temple. Be sure to try the area's abundance of fresh and delicious food from the mountains; sauce katsudon pork cutlet rice bowls are a local specialty.
