Tateyama Sanroku Onsen

Springing from the Hara highlands of Toyama City at the foot of the Tateyama range, Tateyama Sanroku Onsen is a bathing area spreading below the Raicho Valley ski slopes. Soaking while gazing at the majestic peaks in the clear high-altitude air, you forget the bustle of the city.

Highlights

Nearby are Shomyo Falls and the entrance to the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, making it an excellent base for mountaineering and sightseeing. Ski slopes in winter and highland hiking in summer offer no shortage of outdoor pleasures, and some inns command a full view of the peaks from their open-air baths.

Enjoying the Seasons

Summer is cool as a mountain retreat, ideal for pleasant walks across the green highlands. Autumn brings brocade-tinted slopes and winter a blanket of snow, each season showing a wholly different face.

Access and Basic Information

It is convenient to travel by car or bus from Toyama Station, and the area lies close to Tateyama Station, the base of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route. Lodging and day-use hot springs are scattered about.

A Quick Tip

Pairing your visit with the Alpine Route or a walk to Shomyo Falls is recommended. Since winter draws ski crowds, booking your lodging early is reassuring.
