Insider tip — Yusei-kan at Meiho Onsen serves the Meiho highland district of Gujō City where the Nagara River headwaters emerge from the sacred Hakusan volcanic massif. Gujō City is famous for the Gujō Odori dance festival — Japan longest bon-dance celebration running continuously for 32 nights from mid-July to September — where the Gujo Hachiman castle town fills with all-night dancers in the summer heat. The Meiho highland is one of Japan premier ski areas, and the spring emerges in the summer landscape of beech forest and alpine meadow that transforms to deep powder snow from November.
