[Nagano] Bessho, a quiet hot spring area with a rich history

#Spring0yenTrip Bessho Onsen is a quiet hot spring resort in Nagano Prefecture that has long been popular as a hot spring resort. Historical inns and hot spring facilities are dotted around the hot spring town, giving it a nostalgic atmosphere. Oyu in particular is an old hot spring, and the tasteful buildings and the scenery of rising steam were impressive. While soaking in the hot spring, I was able to enjoy a relaxing time surrounded by the surrounding nature. Bessho Onsen also has Onsenji Temple, which is famous as the center of hot spring worship and is a temple with a history of over 1,300 years. There is also a beautiful three-story pagoda in the grounds, and its magnificent architecture attracts visitors. In the tranquility of Onsenji Temple, I was able to calm my mind while feeling the history and culture. Bessho Onsen is a place where you can enjoy not only hot springs but also these historical temples and buildings, and spend a peaceful time.
