Relax in a hidden hot spring surrounded by the beauty of the Japanese mountains

Hot spring / Onsen tour around Takayama city (About 3 hours)

3 hours

Easy

Take a break from your busy travels and immerse yourself in one of Takayama’s best-kept secrets—a serene, outdoor natural hot spring nestled in the mountains.

This relaxing experience allows you to unwind in crystal-clear, mineral-rich waters while being surrounded by the peaceful sounds of nature and beautiful forest scenery. It’s a unique and truly authentic Japanese wellness experience.

Unlike most traditional hot springs in Japan, where bathing is done nude and separated by gender, we can take you to a special, swimsuit-friendly outdoor hot spring. This makes it perfect for couples, friends, or anyone who prefers a more private and comfortable setting.

Want a little more adventure? You can add an optional hiking course before or after your hot spring visit for a small additional fee. It’s the perfect way to balance gentle activity with soothing relaxation, all in the stunning natural surroundings of Takayama.

We offer flexible start times, and the tour is available rain or shine, so it’s easy to fit into your schedule. Our English-speaking guide will accompany you throughout the experience and can assist with local customs, safety, and any questions. Guides in other languages may be available upon request.

This tour is suitable for small groups and couples, with a minimum of 2 participants required to book. Looking to explore more of Takayama or nearby areas? We’re happy to arrange custom private tours, including destinations like Kamikochi, Takayama Old Town, and more.
