槍見館
A hot spring inn that stands along the clear stream of the Kamata River and overlooks Mt. Yarigatake, the famous peak of the Northern Alps. It has been well-received as a place where you can experience inconvenience and something extraordinary that you can't experience in the city. Yarimikan, which has a history of about 100 years, has helped many mountaineers soothe their fatigue in the hot springs. You can enjoy the hot spring water in the mixed open-air bath that has existed since the establishment of the hotel, four private baths each with a different style, and a large communal bath. The simple, neutral hot springs are recommended for people who are sensitive to cold, as they don't get cold easily.
