A famous hot spring embraced by the murmuring of a mountain stream and a rich forest

"Tateshina Grand Hotel Takinoyu" is a hot spring hotel in the highlands of Chino City, Nagano Prefecture. It offers a wide variety of baths, including the "mountain stream open-air bath," which looks out over the murmuring Takinoyu River up close, and the "garden large bath," which commands a dynamic view of a waterfall. Guests can enjoy the mineral-rich "beautiful skin bath" with abundant metasilicic acid through two spring qualities: simple hot spring water and bicarbonate spring water. Highlights also include an authentic dry sauna with windows overlooking the outside, a mist sauna filled with soothing moisture, outdoor relaxation facing the mountain stream, and newly renovated premium private baths.
