## Hot Springs

Immersing yourself in a hot spring is an experience not to be missed while in Japan. Naturally occurring volcanic hot springs are a source of welcome relief from tired muscles and joints after a long day on the mountain. Thankfully Hakuba has several onsens to choose from. Please see our house manual for recommendations.
