After enjoying winter sports, why not warm up in a hot spring?
Norikura Plateau has three hot springs, each with its own unique features.

Norikura Kogen Onsen
A milky white simple sulfur spring that springs from the mountainside of Mt. Norikura (at an altitude of about 2000m).
It has strong antibacterial properties, warms the body from the inside out, and stimulates metabolism.

Suzuran Hot Spring
A simple hot spring that springs from the Norikura Plateau. It is colorless and transparent, and contains a lot of bicarbonate ions, providing a long-lasting feeling of warmth.
The temperature is not too high and the bath is not too stimulating, so you can enjoy a relaxing soak.

Azumi Norikura Onsen
A clear, colorless bicarbonate spring containing large amounts of calcium and magnesium, gushing from 1,300 meters underground.
The smooth water is also known as beauty water, and it brings out the natural power of your skin.

Each facility draws its own hot spring water, so try to find your favorite.
