Practical Travel Notes

• Best time of day: mornings right after opening, or later in the afternoon outside dinner time, are relatively relaxed.

• Time to set aside: about one to one and a half hours for bathing alone, or around three hours if you add the stone-bed sauna and a meal.
• Real nearby spots: Kawachinagano has sights such as the national treasures Kanshinji and Kongoji temples and the Takihata Dam, making it a convenient base for hiking or driving in the Oku-Kawachi area.

A Quick Tip

The fresh vegetables at the farm stand are popular locally, so taking a look after your bath is recommended. It is a hot spring easy to drop by between sightseeing or a drive in the Oku-Kawachi area.
