Yamano Hotel Mixed Onsen

Hello,I am Matsu from J-Hoppers Hida Takayama.


I went to yamano-hotel to bath in a Mixed onsen with snow.

It is located at the bottom of Shinhotaka Mountain.

The location is really nice and the onsen is a nice warm temperature .

Females can rent a large towel for covering themselves.

I think this onsen is the one that foreigners should visit when you come to Takayama
