Holiday Yu ほりでーゆ(湯)～
This hot spring is located inside a fairly new hotel, and is one of the largest hot springs in Azumino. It is a popular place and well advertised, so it can be quite crowded with families and young children. If you want to avoid the crowds, don’t visit on the weekends or national holidays. If you would like, you can rent a private hot spring. It is available from 11:30am to 2:30pm, and by reservation only. The cost is Y2,100 per hour. After your bath, I recommend the delicious soft serve ice cream from the small shop in the lobby.
In addition to the hot springs, the hotel also offers camping sites and a mallet golf course.
