Kamikochi · After a hike
A free-flowing hot spring within walking distance of the Kamikochi bus terminal, which means a hot bath without leaving the valley. ¥1,000 for an adult and ¥500 for a child for day use. Open only from mid-April to mid-November, like Kamikochi itself. Two windows only: 7:00 to 9:30 in the morning and 12:00 to 15:30 in the afternoon, and reception closes half an hour before the end. There is no evening entry, so it suits those who sleep in the valley or pass through it at midday.

You start at the Taisho-ike stop, two stops before the terminal.
