Day trip: Tokyo – Takaragawa Onsen

Hi!

I’m planning a day trip to use the onsen and have some questions on it.

Based on my research, it seems like the travelling goes by:

Tokyo > Jomokogen (shinkansen)

Jomokogen > Minakami (local train)

And theres two options of free shuttle bus services from either JR Jomokogen or minakami station.

I was wondering how to reserve as reservations for the bus are done via phone and I can’t call japanese numbers. The website only allows reservations for the ryokan stay in there.

Alternatively, google maps has shown me that i can make my way there by

Minakami > Takaragawa Iriguchi

Then walk 1.7km to the onsen

Not sure if this route is viable :0
Has anyone been to this onsen before? Any help/advice appreciated!

  1. From their website (haven’t been there in person), the bus from JR could be local bus. It’s all non-reserved seat.

    And some hotels also have free shuttle bus from JR to there. you can reserve it after booking a room.
