Hotel Housei

A ryokan-style hotel in Yudanaka Onsen with three source springs flowing directly into its baths, including a snow-view outdoor bath in winter. The water is a high-temperature sodium chloride spring (source at 74 degrees) with a smooth, warming quality. Yudanaka is a convenient base for Jigokudani, and the lobby here is the only spot in the area where you can watch a source spring well up in real time.
