Ariakeso near Nakabusa Onsen - Autumn leaves

This is a lodging facility near the trailhead of Mt. Tsurugidake, which can be reached by taking a bus bound for Nakabusa Onsen from Hotaka Station in Nagano Prefecture. It is run by the Tsurugi Sanso Group, so it can be used as a base for climbing Mt. Tsurugidake. It seems they will store your luggage during the climb. This is a day-trip hot spring lodge that is a blessing for climbers. The autumn leaves were spectacular this season. #Mountain climbing #Autumn leaf viewing #Hot springs #Nagano sightseeing
