Noriko Takahashi (Takahashi Noriko)

The Yakedishi Mountain Range is located at the northern end of Kurikoma Quasi-National Park. Among these are the three mountains that surround Natsuyu Onsen: Mt. Ushigata, Mt. Kyozuka, and Mt. Komagata. An untouched primeval beech forest spreads out, and you can see many alpine plants and wildflowers nearby. In the spring, as the snow melts, cute flowers such as skunk cabbage, staghorn cabbage, and silver hyacinth will soothe everyone, while in the summer there will be skunk cabbage, staghorn cabbage, and silver lily, and in autumn, there will be cute flowers such as japonica spp. Why not enjoy nature in a leisurely manner while casually walking in the mountains? After working up a good sweat, relax in the 100% source hot springs. If you go further, you will find Mt. Yaishishidake, which is counted as one of Japan’s 100 Famous Flower Mountains and has great value as a treasure trove of alpine plants. Recommended for those who enjoy serious mountain climbing. (Please allow plenty of time as it is a vertical walk.)
In addition, there are many rustic hot springs on the Natsuyu Plateau. Please come and visit us.

Natsuyu Onsen is a hot spring with a history of 850 years, said to have been discovered by a Heike fugitive. It is one of the “100 best hot springs in Japan” and has flourished as a hot spring resort since ancient times. There are natural open-air baths dotted around the area, and each of the seven hot springs has a different quality and efficacy, and has been gushing out unchanged since ancient times. Motoyu Natsuyu consists of 4 inn buildings, 4 self-catering buildings, and a Natsuyu mountain villa. Due to heavy snowfall, roads are closed in the winter, so we are open for half a year in the summer. We are a member of the “Japan Secret Hot Springs Preservation Association”, which protects the natural environment, protects natural resources, and protects the spirit of hospitality for travelers.

hello everyone. I love mountains and the sea, and my hobbies are mountain walking and scuba diving. While walking in the mountains, I take photos while being soothed by alpine plants and other wild plants. I particularly enjoy climbing Mt. Yaishishidake and Mt. Natsuyu.
There are still some flower names that I don’t know, but I will do my best to let our customers know.
