Features & How to Enjoy

Classic Onsen

Highlights

Point 1

Japan's Highest Hot Springs Facility

Mikurigaike Onsen is known as Japan's highest natural hot springs, located at an altitude of 2410m. Its greatest charm is undoubtedly its magnificent location, with the majestic mountain range visible from the window creating unforgettable memories. In addition, at the restaurant, you can enjoy the ultimate luxury of drinking beer while admiring the beautiful natural scenery. It's a unique hot springs facility where you can enjoy an extraordinary experience that is hard to come by.

Point 2

The Source is Jigokudani!

When you arrive at Murodo Terminal, you may already be enveloped in the smell of sulfur. The source of that smell is "Jigokudani". It is a crater from a steam explosion 10,000 years ago, and gas is constantly emitted from it. It is a central figure in the Tateyama faith, but due to volcanic activity, it is now inaccessible. Mikurigaike Onsen, which flows from the source of Jigokudani, a sacred place that is off-limits, seems to have water that is full of power and is very appreciated.

Point 3

Rich Mineral Springs

Mikurigaike Onsen is a hot spring with no added water or heat, and the water flows directly from the source. The water is milky white and soft, providing relief for tired bodies after mountain climbing. The spring has a variety of benefits, including relief from neuralgia, muscle pain, joint pain, frozen shoulder, paralysis due to exercise, joint stiffness, sprains, chronic digestive diseases, chronic skin diseases, chronic gynecological diseases, cuts, poor circulation, recovery from illness, fatigue recovery, and health promotion, among others. Please feel the power of Tateyama from the core of your body.

Point 4

High-Quality Dining Menu

At the cafe "Kissa Mikuri," which even day-trip hot spring visitors can easily enter, there is a famous menu item called "Enma-sama's Hot Pizza," which is popular during lunchtime in addition to sweets such as soft serve ice cream. The chewy pizza, which is topped generously with hellish sauce, will fill you up nicely. For overnight guests, elaborate meals are provided that not only include local cuisine but also incorporate plenty of mountain and sea delicacies from Toyama. Many people are pleasantly surprised by the high-quality taste that exceeds their expectations.

Point 5

Exclusive Sunrise Viewing for Hotel Guests

One of the privileges of being a hotel guest is being able to witness the majestic sunrise from a prime location. Depending on the season, the position where the sun first appears in the sky may vary, so be sure to ask the guide or hotel staff for recommended viewing spots. As Tateyama is located on the east side, it's characteristic for the sun to rise after it becomes bright. If the conditions are right, you may even be able to experience natural phenomena such as the Brocken spectre or sea of clouds.

Point 6

Night Sky Unique to Lodgers

The high altitude and clear air of Tateyama make it the perfect place for stargazing. Lodgers, such as those staying at Mikurigaike Onsen, have the privilege of being able to leisurely enjoy stargazing without worrying about time. You can spend a luxurious and romantic moment enjoying the Milky Way and shooting stars that spread across the sky in a quiet space. A star chart is installed in the facility and can be used freely. Why not enjoy the myth of the starry sky that unfolds each season with a star chart in hand?

Access

About a 15-Minute Walk from Murodo Terminal

From Murodo Terminal, take the cable car from Tateyama Station, the last stop on the Toyama Chihou Railway in Tateyama Town, Toyama Prefecture, for about 7 minutes. Then, transfer to a bus at Bijodaira Station and arrive in less than an hour. From there, you can walk to the hot spring facility while enjoying the seasonal scenery of Murodo Plateau. As there may still be snow on the ground in April and May, it's essential to wear shoes and warm clothing that can handle snowy conditions. Be sure to check the weather in advance and take precautions, as there may be blizzards. Also, be aware that there is a possibility of the first snowfall starting in late September, so check the situation in advance. While the facility is maintained, there are many ups and downs and steps, so be careful as trunks and suitcases may be inconvenient.

立山観光の拠点、室堂ターミナルから徒歩十数分の立地。ミクリガ池や地獄谷のそばの山小屋。いわゆる蚕棚の相部屋の他にファミリーやグループ向けの個室もある。料理やラウンジ、サービスはホテルに近い。もっとも標高の高い天然温泉でもある。温泉は２４時間入浴可能。ここをベースにすれば余裕で立山連峰の主要三峰の縦走など、山歩きがゆったりと楽しめる。朝食後、談話室でいただけるモーニングコーヒーはサイフォンで淹れてくれて３００円である。驚き！

スンマセン、オイラは日帰りで利用しました。とにかく温泉が熱くて、2槽（男湯）とも同じでした(T ^ T) ただ、水を自由に出せるので、多少冷まし入りました。　日帰りは¥1,000です。山の頂上とは思えないキチンとした設備でゆったりできました。日帰りは朝9:00〜18:00のみです。お泊まりすれば、8:00〜9:00の掃除時間帯以外は自由に入れるのそう。⊂((・x・))⊃ キッチン（共同食堂）を通って温泉に行くのですが綺麗なのでお泊まりはなかなか贅沢な感じっぽい。手前の喫茶は、外で飲み食いでき景色と相まっての大人気。メニューは巻末写真にて。

室堂平の玄関口であるホテル立山から、みくりが池への山道（石がゴツゴツです）を歩いて行くと、次第に硫黄のニオイが感じられ、濃い色の美しいみくりが池が目に飛び込んで来ます❗ みくりが池温泉は、その向こう側に姿を現します。アップダウンがあるので、着くとホッとしますね🎵 宿のスタッフさん達は皆、とても親切。お部屋は畳敷き、ベッドなど色々あるようです。私達は中に4つ、畳ベッドのあるお部屋でした。白濁した温泉♨️は熱めで硫黄臭が高い濃厚な湯。素晴らしいです❗️温泉目当てでも大満足出来ます。シャンプー、ボディシャンプー完備。タオル、バスタオルは有料で入手出来ます。夕食は2部制。おかずも豊富で、アルコールは富山の地酒が頂けます。朝はバイキングです。 1階には乾燥室あり。2階の洗面所の水は「立山の水です。飲料出来ます」とあり、冷たくてとても美味でした。
