Amakazari hot spring(Niigata)

The hot spring of the mountain surrounded by the noted mountain.Till Heisei 11 when a road will be opened for traffic, it was in the place which cannot go if you do not walk on foot from Yamaguchi of foot for about 2 hours, and was a hidden spring known only to insiders among mountaineers.It seems that it also comes to put in the present private car to the bottom gate of a hot spring, and the directions which visit the hot spring of a mountain to a pleasure gradually are also increasing in number.A view of the sea valley cluster of summits connected with Mt. Nokogiri, a devil's face mountain, and Mt. Komagatake in a north direction in the back in Mt. Amakazari counted by Japanese one hundred famous mountains is brilliant.Both of the mountains need the physical strength and equipment of full-scale mountain climbing for about 7 both-way hours.
