"Tsukubasan Hotel Aokiya" is a hot spring inn nestled on the mountainside of Mount Tsukuba, known as the Fuji of the West and the Tsukuba of the East. From the panoramic open-air bath "Unjo no Yu," located at an elevation of about 300 meters, you can take in sweeping views of the Kanto Plain, with Tsukuba's rich nature by day, Mount Fuji turning red at dusk, and the glittering nightscape of the academic city at night. Soaking in its alkaline simple hot spring, beloved as a bath that helps create beautiful skin, and enjoying a liberating bath with a 180-degree panorama is a supreme moment that makes you forget everyday life. The men's large public bath also features a full-fledged dry sauna where you can quietly enjoy a good sweat.
