Kanbayashi Onsen Area

Kanbayashi Onsen is a small hot spring village located in the foothills of Joshinetsu Kogen National Park. With the Jigokudani Monkey Park located in Kanbayashi, within walking distance of all guesthouses, the village is busy during the day but quiet at night. Most visitors to the park come as day visitors, but those who go slower and choose to stay in Kanbayashi Onsen will discover some excellent ‘ryokan’ (traditional guesthouses), each boasting its own indulgent hot springs and ‘kaiseki’ (multi-course) meal service.

Guesthouses located in Kanbayashi Onsen will typically offer a free shuttle service to and from Yudanaka Station and may provide transfers to other nearby destinations.
