When I stay in a tent in Boga Tsuru, I always stop by Hokkein Onsen Sanso and enjoy the hot springs.I have never experienced staying at a mountain hut, but many people who stay at Bogatsuru Camp take a hot spring bath at their mountain hut, buy a cold beer, and return to the tent, so this is a review from a person's perspective.The drop-in bath costs 500 yen, which you pay at the kiosk at the main entrance, then exit the building, go down a little, and re-enter through the hot spring entrance.The quality of the hot springs has a sulfur-like scent reminiscent of a hot spring.The trend is the same as Chojahara Onsen at the Chojahara trailhead.The temperature is just right so you can relax and stay for a long time.I've been here 4-5 times so far, and this trend hasn't changed.You can go outside to the terrace from the men's bathroom to cool off, but if you step too far forward, your upper body will be exposed, so be careful.From the terrace, you can see Mt. Ofuna clearly.You cannot use soap or shampoo, you will only have to take a bath, but this cannot be helped. You can't expect that much from an inn in the mountains with no sewage.If you look at it as a guest staying at a mountain villa, I think your evaluation will be different, but for someone like me who sleeps in a tent with a heavy luggage on my shoulders, Hokkein Onsen Sanso is ``heaven''. .Just because it's there and open, it's a five-star rating.You can take a bath in a hot spring, buy a cold beer, and even eat some food. There's nothing like this.If this mountain hut were to disappear, I would cry and be sad.The image of the vending machine in front of the hot springs is as of September 2024. It's great that you can even buy cup shochu.

It was a beautiful mountain hut.It may depend on the model, but I did not receive Docomo radio waves. AU was OK.There are only a few tent sites, but they are boarded up, so you don't have to level the ground, which is helpful. It's helpful that you don't have to put down the pegs, but you have to use rocks or other materials to hold the tension ropes, so you have to be creative.

The purpose of this time is to enter the hot spring ♨️ here.I came up first in the morning, so it was a little too early.It is said to be open from 11am.Climb up a nearby mountain and soak in the hot water.The sulfur spring has plenty of hot water🎵The water is lukewarm, so you can stay in it for a long time.You can also experience the common room.I guess it was smaller than I imagined 😅
