Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Makinoto Onsen?
The best area to stay in Makinoto Onsen is the area immediately surrounding the Makinoto Pass, particularly along National Route 210 that winds through the Kuju Mountain Range.

Couples looking for a tranquil and restorative escape will find this area perfect. The focus here is on relaxation and enjoying the natural beauty. Many establishments offer private onsen baths, and the hiking trails of the Kuju Mountains, such as those leading to Mount Kuju, are easily accessible, providing opportunities for scenic walks together.
