The first one we will introduce is about 50 minutes by car from the Kofu Minami Interchange on the Chuo Expressway. Akaishi Onsen is an attractive location that is easily accessible from the city center. The inn, built in the early Showa period, has the feel of a hot spring resort, and looks like a house nestled in the middle of nature. It's an extraordinary feeling that you can't get in the city.

onsen is a reddish-brown iron mineral spring that is said to be good for the stomach and the cold. It seems that the bathtub is handmade by the owner! The open-air bath is spacious and mixed, but there is also a women-only indoor bath right next to it for women. Please enjoy bathing within a reasonable range while watching the situation.

*The open-air bath is seasonal. Please confirm the period at the time of booking.

Next is "Momonoki Onsen onsen", a long-established hidden hot spring founded in 1877. This family-run inn is popular for its hospitality run by a young proprietress. It has a reputation for being attentive and considerate, and there are rooms where you can stay with your pet dog, so it is also recommended for families.

Along with the abundant amount of hot water, the deep mountain scenery that spreads out in front of you is attractive. It is said that the alkaline simple onsen, which draws directly from the source, makes the skin smooth. Located at the foot of the Southern Alps, the sky is unobstructed and the sky is full of stars at night. If you are lucky, you may even come across an antelope! It's a privilege of a secluded hot spring inn.

Dinner is a multi-course meal that incorporates local dishes such as abalone stew and Koshu beef grilled in Mt. Fuji lava. It seems to be filled with plenty of local vegetables. There are also meals for dogs.

The last place we would like to introduce is Unposo, a splintered stone onsen located on the back road leading to Mt. Enzan. About 40 minutes from Katsunuma IC. Kurokawa Gold Mine, said to be Shingen Takeda's hidden gold mine, and spots where the legend of Oiranbuchi remains, are also nearby, making it a popular place for history buffs.

The spring quality is a highly alkaline spring with a pH of 9.90. Granite is used boldly in the open-air bath, and there is also a space with a roof, so even a little rain won't bother you. It's a mixed bath, but you can enter wearing the yuyugi provided by the inn, and depending on the time of day, it's only for women, so you don't have to worry.

The dishes made with rice and vegetables from our own garden are also attractive! Along with freshwater fish, there will be a selection of warm delicacies that will give you the scent of the season. Along with meal, you can also enjoy local beer brewed from the hot spring source and over 30 types of local wine.

``Nishiyama onsen Inn Keiunkan'', which was opened in 2012, is the world's oldest inn that has been recognized by the Guinness Book of Records with a history of over 1,300 years.

The baths in the rooms are all onsen, but if you want to enjoy the scenery, it is recommended to go to the open-air bath or the observation bath.

You can enjoy a sense of unity with the surrounding nature as if it were a bathhouse.
