Otari Onsen

Otari Onsen has long had sources of hot water, new hot water, and hot water. Located in Joshin'etsu Kogen National Park, you can enjoy trekking to Kamaike, a lake filled with clear water surrounded by virgin beech forest. Many climbers also visit Mt. Amakazari, which was selected by Kyuya Fukada as one of Japan's top 100 mountains, Mt. Kanayama, and Mt. Tenguhara. Surrounded by magnificent nature, Otari Onsen has an abundant supply of hot water, and many visitors come here for hot spring cures. Around May, spring finally arrives, and when the chanmelo (Fukinotou) begins to make an appearance, the open-air baths at Amakazariso can be used. The cuisine of each inn is lined with seasonal mountain vegetable dishes. Escape the heat in the summer and relax at Otari Onsen, a quiet hot spring deep in the mountains.
