A popular natural hot spring with a superb view from the top of the mountain at the altitude of 700m. Opened in 1999, "Kocchi-no-yu (this bath)" is a hot spring with a simple and calm atmosphere and is popular among the local people. Within this place, there are indoor and outdoor baths, and you are able to enjoy a superb view of Mt. Fuji and the Kofu Basin while soaking in the hot springs. In addition, the bath is divided into Nuru-yu (warm water temperature) and Atsu-yu (hot water temperature), and it is also nice that you are able to have a relaxing time in accordance with your taste of water temperature.

"Acchi-no-yu (that bath)" built along the mountain boasts twice the scale of Kocchi-no-yu , moreover, the overlooking view is also spectacular.
You are certainly able to see Mt. Fuji from Acchi-no-yu, and it is open at night as well so that you are able to see the beautiful night sky called "the starry sky is the ceiling" at night.

Since Hottarakashi Onsen opens one hour before sunrise, you are able to enjoy the sunrise while soaking in the hot springs. The hot spring quality is simple alkaline so that it is mild and less- irritant on the skin. It allows those who have weaker skin to relax slowly, as a result, it is being popular to a wide range of age groups, from small children to the elderly.

It is also recommended to have Hottarakashi Onsen’s specialty which are sold at the shop, such as Ontama-Age, deep fried hot-spring-balls for JPY150 and wine-vinegar-juice for JPY200.

    The view is really wide and open—you can see Mt. Fuji from the outdoor hot spring! Plus, the simple and tasty food made it a super enjoyable experience!

    I visited here a few years ago. The name of the hot spring struck me as really fun and a bit quirky. The water temperature was just right, and the view from the open-air bath was fantastic. Too bad I couldn't stay late. Reading this post today brought back memories, and I just learned you can soak in the hot spring at night while stargazing—so tempting! Next time, I'll definitely plan to go in the evening. Can't wait!
