shirahone onsen side trip? 2016/6/23 06:48
Hi,

I'm planning to go to Kamikochi, and would like to drop by Shirohane Onsen to try the public bath and maybe just look around.

But I will be there for barely an hour, since I'm catching the infrequent buses going to Kamikochi, and I won't be able to to try Awanoyu, since the schedule doesn't fit. Is still worth the brief visit? Is the public rotemburo in Shirohane Onsen far from where the bus stops?

Or is there recommended public baths around Kamikochi for day visitors instead?

Any opinion or advise would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

Sihrahone Onsen can be visited with bus, but some of the onsens require a litte walk, while some dont.

Generally: From Matsumoto Station take the train to Shinshimashima Station. (680yen, about 30 min). There are two buses a day to Shirahone Onsen (2300yen back and return ticket, about 85 Minutes). the timetable can be seen here:

A Very good descripition of each possible onsen also including public transport or way descriptions you can find in this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Nagano-Onsen-Guide-Day-Use-Springs/product-revie...

It is a wonderful book, well worth the buy and also explains alternatives.

PS: Most easy to reach by foot are maybe:
Koukyou Notenburo and Shirafunesou

Both absolutely wonderful onsen, well worth the trip. But check their opening times.
