Insider tip — Takayama Onsen at Fureai Plaza in Takayama-mura, Nagano — not the famous Takayama city of Gifu, but a village in the Joshinetsu Highlands near the Shiga Kogen ski resort. 'Fureai' (meeting/encounter) Plaza reflects the community spirit of this mountain village, where outdoor lovers come for skiing, cycling, and onsen.
