Hiking | Popular hotels and Ryokan (Japanese inn) based on reviews!

Along the Gono Line, you can feel the atmosphere of the north. If you want to leaf peeping in the Shirakami Mountains, the Hotel Grand Mer Sankaisou was great. It is the most luxurious hotel in the area. I was impressed by the view of the majestic Sea of Japan from the open-air bath.

ここは、夏休みの子連れ旅行で人気な宿です。期間中は2食付バイキングプランがあり、夕食にはアルコールやソフトドリンクが飲み放題付きで和・洋・中の多彩なメニューのバイキング料理がご家族で楽しめます。ハイキングの後の温泉は大浴場や自然美あふれる渓谷を眺めながら露天風呂で秘湯老神温泉の源泉かけ流しの湯でゆっくり疲れを癒せます。

This hot spring inn is surrounded by abundant nature and has a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. It boasts two different types of open-air baths, one made of cypress and the other made of stone, from which you can relax and enjoy the hot springs while looking out at the nature of Oigami. Depending on your budget and the number of guests, there are rooms with open-air baths, so the whole family can enjoy the hot springs without needing water. The seasonal cuisine, which makes use of local mountain and river produce, is also delicious and appealing.

If you are touring the Shirakami Mountains in Aomori Prefecture, I recommend "Aone Shirakami Juniko." It is a 5-minute drive or 20-minute walk from Juniko Station. It is a comprehensive resort hotel surrounded by nature and has a very large site. It felt like a small theme park. You can also enjoy cottages and Japanese-style rooms. The food was delicious and locally produced, and I was satisfied. There are also guided trekking guides for Juniko and Shirakami Forest Bathing, so I think it was the perfect hotel for our purpose.

We recommend the Koganezaki Furofushi Onsen. It is a single inn located at the foot of the Shirakami Mountains, a World Heritage Site. The open-air bath offers Breathtaking view of the Sea of Japan, and has been featured in the media, including on TV travel shows. The nearest station is Tonosaku Station on the Gono Line, but there is also a shuttle bus from WeSpa Tsubakiyama Station, where the Resort Shirakami stops.

Shisuitei is an inn located on a small hill in Oigami Onsen, where you can enjoy the rich nature. There is a hot 100% natural hot spring water and an open-air garden bath, so you can relax and enjoy the hot springs in the beautiful nature of Oigami. In addition, the meals, which use plenty of fresh local Gunma ingredients, are also highly rated, and the inn boasts creative dishes using fresh seasonal vegetables from its own farm.
