Sunday, March 9th

We had about 10 cm of fresh snowfall early Saturday morning, but Sunday brought clear, pleasant weather. I took the opportunity to visit Tateshina Onsen and had a wonderful, relaxing time. It takes my mind off work, mentally and physically.

“Kosaino-Yu” offers three distinct onsen experiences:

  • Kashikirino-Yu – A private bath for exclusive use
  • Adauchinono-Yu – A serene retreat for women
  • Miharashino-Yu – A scenic bath for men

Nestled in the forested Shirakaba Highland at an elevation of 1,250 meters in Chino, Nagano, this hidden gem offers breathtaking views that change with the seasons.

During winter, the open-air onsen is surrounded by a stunning blanket of snow, creating a magical and tranquil atmosphere. Soaking in the warm waters while taking in the snowy landscape is a perfect way to relax and rejuvenate the body from the winter chill.
