#Spring0yenTrip Bessho Onsen is a quiet hot spring resort in Nagano Prefecture that has long been popular as a hot spring resort. Historical inns and hot spring facilities are dotted around the hot spring town, giving it a nostalgic atmosphere. Oyu in particular is an old hot spring, and the tasteful buildings and the scenery of rising steam were impressive. While soaking in the hot spring, I was able to enjoy a relaxing time surrounded by the surrounding nature. Bessho Onsen also has Onsenji Temple, which is famous as the center of hot spring worship and is a temple with a history of over 1,300 years. There is also a beautiful three-story pagoda in the grounds, and its magnificent architecture attracts visitors. In the tranquility of Onsenji Temple, I was able to calm my mind while feeling the history and culture. Bessho Onsen is a place where you can enjoy not only hot springs but also these historical temples and buildings, and spend a peaceful time.

Although there aren't many places to visit in Bessho Onsen, the Chinese service staff at Nakamatsuya are very friendly. The wooden eight-story pagoda and the North-facing Kannon are both must-see attractions. A bowl of family-style ramen in the small hot spring street is very warming in cold weather! #Nagano #Bessho Onsen

It's about an hour and 50 minutes by train from Tokyo, and it's surprisingly easy to get to, but it's still a little-known hot spring spot. \\ Bessho Onsen, Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture ♨︎ // What I want to introduce this time is the shaved ice at Mizutama SAUNA, which just opened on 6/6/2024. Mizutama SAUNA is a women-only sauna facility that requires a reservation* and also offers shaved ice🍧 (*Men's Day is also held on the 4th and 8th of each month) (*Shaved ice is available for takeout) The concept is that the sauna where you can enjoy the most delicious shaved ice in Japan is the best combination of a private sauna and shaved ice🍧🧖♀️♥️ This is a spot I would definitely recommend to sauna lovers✨️ This time, I was on a photography trip, so I didn't stop by the sauna, but instead got takeout shaved ice🥺! The menu was extensive and it was hard to choose, so I asked for recommendations and was told that matcha 🌿 is the most popular lately. ・Matcha x coconut 🍵🌿 ・Red shiso x jasmine 🌼*･ ・Rhubarb and blueberry rare cheesecake 🫐 I ordered these three! The soft and fluffy ice melts in your mouth in an instant, spreading happiness with this shaved ice🍧🤍 The combination of syrups in each one is a perfect match, and it was a supreme cup that disappeared in no time👍 This is definitely the best thing to eat after a sauna🥺♥️ When I have time again, I'd love to try a private bath, even though I'm a sauna beginner🔰...🧖♀️ 𓐍𓂃𓈒𓂂𖤣𖤥𖠿𖤣𖤥𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃𓈒𓂂𖤣𖤥𖠿𖤣𖤥𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃𓈒𓂂 【 🌿.∘Polka dot SAUNA🧖♀️🧖♂️◌】 @mizutamasauna 📍 1640 Bessho Onsen, Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture 🚃 About 15 minutes walk from Bessho Onsen Station *About 1 hour and 50 minutes from Tokyo (Shinkansen + Bessho Line) 🗒To make a reservation for the sauna DM or call the official account 📞 🍧As for shaved ice There are days when you can only eat in or take out There are various things, so please check out the official account 𝑪𝒉𝒆𝒄𝒌✔️ 𓐍𓂃𓈒𓂂𖤣𖤥𖠿𖤣𖤥𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃𓈒𓂂𖤣𖤥𖠿𖤣𖤥𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃𓈒𓂂 ▼Click here for other posts...🌮🌈 @nachos_lovegraph . #CameraGirl #BesshoOnsen #StrollingBesshoOnsen #UedaCity #UedaSightseeing #NaganoTrip #NaganoSightseeing #CoupleTrip #PhotoWalkingTrip #OutingSpot #AdultTrip #Cafe #ShavedIce #AShopWhereGourmetsGather #SaunaGirl #saunaclub #aug_trip

#FuriTabi A hot spring resort nestled in quiet nature. Immerse yourself in the clear, free-flowing water from the source and experience bliss.

Bessho Onsen is located in Nagano Prefecture and is characterized by its hot springs that flow directly from the source and its historic hot spring town. There are also plenty of accommodation facilities and day-trip bathing facilities, making it a very attractive hot spring resort. When you get off at Bessho Onsen Station, you will see an old-fashioned townscape spreading out before you. There are many hot springs there, so you can enjoy multiple hot springs. In addition to day trips, there are also hot springs where you can stay overnight, so we recommend booking a lodging! It is especially recommended to go on a cold day, as it will warm you up to the core of your body! After leaving the hot spring, we ate Nagano's specialty, sanzokuyaki! It was incredibly filling and delicious! #hotsprings #trip to Nagano #Nagano #winter trip #freeairtickettoHongKong
