Nakanoyu Onsen Ryokan

861. Nakanoyu Onsen Ryokan, Okuhida Onsen, Nagano ★★ I went for a higaeri visit for ¥800. Higaeri is listed as 12:00 to 17:00. It is included in the list of Hitou, the "secret" onsen. There is a bath rotation between men and women. In snowy season, getting there is quite a quest, the ryokan is on a mountain and the climb up can be difficult because of the snow. If you are not coming by car, you need to take a bus to the stop and call the ryokan so they can pick you up and drive you there, you cannot walk there, since part of the road up to the turnoff to the ryokan is closed to pedestrians. If you are coming by your own car, it must be four-wheel drive to reach the ryokan itself on the mountain. Otherwise, you need to drive up to the gate by the turnoff toward the ryokan, call from there, and ask to be picked up. In that case, you will need to leave the car inside after the gate. 1.
