Iyama Onsen go
[Information]
The inns are located east of Iiyama Hakusan Forest Park, along the Koayugawa River. The temperature of the strongly alkaline hot spring water is about 20°C. Like Nanasawa Onsen, this hot spring leaves one's skin feeling silky smooth, giving it its reputation for producing water of beauty. Famous sites like the Iiyama Kannon are located nearby, and even the walking trails are enveloped within a lush, natural environment. This location is famous for its yoshino cherry blossoms.
[Transportation]
From bus stop #5 at the north exit of Hon-Atsugi station, take a bus bound for Miyagase, Kami-Iiyama, or Kami-Susugaya, and get off at Iiyama Kannon Mae (about 20 min). |
Kabutoyu Onsen
[Information]
Like Koutakuji Onsen, this is in a single inn in Nanasawa Hot Springs Village. Because the hot water springs up from a location near a rock shaped like a warrior's helmet, the bath at the inn has also been shaped to make it appear that the water is bubbling up from a helmet-shaped rock.
[Transportation]
From bus stop #9 at the Hon-Atsugi station bus center, take a bus bound for Kamiyato and get off at the last stop (about 30 min.). It’s a 10-min. walk from there. |
Koutakuji Onsen
[Information]
Koutakuji Onsen lies northwest of Nanasawa Onsen, and is in a single inn designed to resemble a temple built amidst a grove of trees. Behind it lies Koutakuji Temple, the site of the Muromachi-period tombs of feudal warlord Uesugi Sadamasa and his wife. With Mt. Kanegatake and sights like the Ogama-Benzaiten nearby, this is a perfect spot for hiking.

The temperature of the highly alkaline hot spring water is about 23°C. Sonchuzan Kannonji Temple and Hinata Yakushi are located nearby, enticing local travelers.
