A large complex. Really a lot of stuff, let me go through it. At the center is of course the onsen with a huge rotenburo. No panoramic view, but there's a garden on a slope — beautiful. Barrel baths, baths set in big boulders, a sauna, an outdoor cold bath where you can sit for a long time. The water is alkaline at 9.4, but seems to be heated. The restaurant is fantastic! They roll and cut fresh soba right before your eyes, bake pizza in a wood-fired oven, there's a coffee shop by the fireplace, their own bakery, and a stand with delicious gelato. The little shop has Shinshu apples — 350 yen for 6!

ForestAbout
Jizo Onsen Jippuku no Yu (地蔵温泉 十福の湯) sits at 975m on Jizo Pass, in a cedar and cypress forest between Nagano and Ueda. The complex has two bath wings, one tiled in hinoki (cypress) and one in stone, and they rotate gender assignment each day. Each wing has an indoor bath fed directly from the source without recirculation, plus a large outdoor bath and sauna. The rotenburo (outdoor bath) is one of the widest in Nagano Prefecture. A separate open-air cypress sauna stands in the trees, and the cold bath is outside too, open to the sky. The spring water is soft and slightly smooth on the skin. The facility also has private baths, a forest restaurant serving handmade soba and stone-oven pizza, and a bakery.
