Stayed in this onsen ryokan in Shin-hotaka onsen – the innermost onsen in Oku-hida, while visiting koyo in 2010.

One special feature of this onsen hotel is that the huge rotenburo can only be accessed by its own cable car down to valley bottom where fresh onsen is gushing out continuously ! The rotenburo is next to a mountain stream and Yarigadake can be seen in the distance on clear days.
