    I stopped by Higaku-no-Yu and the Mountaineer's Cafeteria at Shin-Hotaka Onsen after visiting the Northern Alps Bridge. They have two types of hot springs—simple and sulfur—so you can enjoy both at once! The only downside is that it's a bit pricey, but the water is excellent! I didn't eat at the cafeteria this time, but the menu looked hearty with things like Hida beef.

    This area is made up of several hot springs and is pretty deep in the mountains, so getting there isn't very convenient. Visiting in winter feels amazing.

    I once stayed a night at Hirayu Onsen, and took the Shin-Hotaka Ropeway early the next morning.
