Shinhotaka Onsen Higaku-no-yu to Tozansha Shokudo

A mountain bath and diner in the Shinhotaka Onsen area, popular with hikers coming off trails like Yarigatake. The bathing area has two large pools plus about six smaller tubs at different temperatures, and the mixed-bathing setup lets you linger between soaks. The attached canteen serves Hida beef dishes and local ramen, a welcome stop when you're wet and hungry from the mountains.
