Hot Spring Inns with Outdoor Baths in Okuhida Onsen-go

Okuhida Onsen-go is one of Japan's premier outdoor hot spring areas, consisting of five hot spring resorts: Hirayu, Fukuchi, Shinpirayu, Tochio, and Shinhotaka. Boasting over 100 hot spring sources, many inns feature outdoor baths fed by their own private springs. The snow-viewing outdoor baths are particularly exceptional - soaking in hot springs while snow falls around you as you gaze at the peaks of the Northern Alps is the ultimate essence of Japanese winter. Enjoying Hida beef and mountain delicacies around the traditional hearth is also one of the pleasures of staying at these inns.
