Nagano Onsen Guide: the Top 100 Day-Use Hot Springs (Second Edition) by Peter Ninnes Pdf
This book provides a detailed guide in English to help non-Japanese speakers find and enjoy Nagano Prefecture's many famous hot springs (known as onsens). The focus is on day-use establishments: those whose main function is providing a bath and which usually close overnight. There are hundreds of onsens in Nagano Prefecture, and this colorful guide helps you find the best ones. Some have stunning natural settings, others are steeped in history. Some have unique and beautiful architecture, while others are famous for the quality of their hot spring water. Developed during a year of intensive independent research, this highly popular guide's fully updated second edition provides a listing of the author's Top 100 day-use hot springs. Each entry includes a summary of the onsen's special points, bath types, water quality, opening hours, contact and location details, and directions by car and public transport. In addition to the Top 100 listings, the book has 100 full-colour photographs, and a bonus chapter describing six luxury onsen accommodation providers.
