sightseeing

Nestled in the Northern Alps, Oku-Hida Onsenkyo spreads out over the mountains at an altitude of 800m to 1,300m, and shows completely different faces with each season. There is no end to the sights to see, including landscapes created by nature, impressive waterfalls, and villages where mountain village life still thrives. The Shinhotaka Ropeway takes you straight up to an altitude of 2,156m, where you can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of the Northern Alps. With easy access to Kamikochi and Mount Norikura, you can also enjoy sightseeing tours based in Oku-Hida.
