"I particularly liked the sitting in the outdoor onsen at night surrounded by rock and snow, soaking in volcanic water listening to the blue Shirogane Waterfall, magical!"

“Aonobi Yuyu sits a comfortable walk from Shirahige Falls, which is convenient, and it appears to offer something increasingly rare: hot spring water rich in metasilicic acid. The food seems reliably good, judging by reports, and the canyon views from the rooms are a definite plus. It strikes me as a solid choice for those seeking onsen relaxation amidst Biei's natural beauty.”
