Closed during winter season, unfortunately. It was free to enter still few years ago and believe me that a dip in natural hot spring after you get off your ski feels heaven.
Opened from end of April till October.
Admittance fee is JPY 450, no soap provided, only natural spring water containing lots of sulfur, no indoor facilities, no electricity (yeah, we used to bring flashlights…). Opening hours: 6~till daylight lasts, closed between November and April.
