Meet up at Hotel Metropolitan Ikebukuro near JR Ikebukuro station at 7.30am and head to Takaragawa Onsen by our own minivan or bus.
Taking a short break for 20 minutes on the way, reach to Takaragawa Onsen at 11am and stay there for 3.5 hours. Enjoy 100% natural hot water, soak in the beautiful outdoor baths along the river, and have lunch in the restaurant at your own expense.
The natural hot water is good for helping nervous disorders, bad circulation, skin irritation, sore muscles and joints, aches, bruises and fatigue. And green of the trees, smell of the mountain, and music of the river surrounding outdoor baths soothe your mental fatigue.
Takaragawa Onsen is scenic in every season, however, the best season is autumn, from late October to mid November. Outdoor baths mirror golden and red autumn leaves!
Entrance fee, a rental dress for ladies to enjoy mixed baths, a rental bath towl and a face towel are included, so no need to bring something special for the tour.
Dropped off at Hotel Metropolitan Ikebukuro at 6.30pm and the tour is ended.
