Hot spring at the trailhead of Mt. TsubakuIt is in the best location where you can heal the fatigue of climbing after descending the mountain 👍It's 950 yen for adults, but I recommend it because the water quality is good and the atmosphere is great. You can also eat there.

2024.9.23After descending from Mt. Tsubaku, I took a day trip to the hot springs while waiting for the bus to Hotaka Station. There is a hot spring right next to the trailhead, so if you put a change of clothes in your backpack, you can sweat it off as soon as you descend the mountain.The slimy hot water flowing directly from the source will make your skin smooth and smooth. There are two open-air baths, each with different water quality. Bathing fee: 950 yen.
