Winter in Hokuto

Snowy peaks to look at, and mountain hot springs to warm up in.

Hokuto's winters are mostly sunny, so you can enjoy hot springs and quiet time in the highlands with snow-capped mountains in view.

Roads that close in winter

The gorge path at Ojiragawa Gorge is usually closed for winter from mid-December to mid-April[1]. The forest road to Shojigataki Falls in Mukawa is also usually closed from late November to late April[2]. In winter, please check the roads before you set out.

Warm up in a mountain hot spring

The Masutomi hot springs, in the mountains of Sutama, are known for their radium waters[3]. You can stay at an inn and take your time in the baths.

Among this site's sample places, Kogen-no-Yu Roadside StationSample in Kobuchisawa has a day-use hot spring, and Hoshimi Highland Onsen HotelSample in Oizumi has an open-air hot-spring bath.

Winter waterfalls and famous waters

Doryu Falls in Kiyosato is 10 m high and 15 m wide. The water falls between the rocks like strands of silk. It is about a 15-minute walk from the parking lot[4]. The path can be icy in winter, so please wear non-slip shoes.

The sample Meisui-no-Sato Roadside StationSample has a spring-water tap.
