Hanamomo no Sato Tsukikawa Onsenkyo

Hanamomo no Sato Tsukikawa Onsenkyo—the Flowering Peach Village of Tsukikawa—is a unique thermal destination in Achi Village, Nagano Prefecture, where a single inn, Nokuma no Sho Tsukikawa, is surrounded by thousands of hanamomo flowering peach trees that transform the valley into an explosion of pink, white, and red blossoms each spring. The onsenkyo designation gives ceremonial significance to what is in essence a single-inn ipponshibori spring, where the thermal bathing experience is framed by one of Japan's most concentrated seasonal flower spectacles, drawing visitors from across the country during the narrow blooming window. The combination of volcanic spring and flowering peach orchard creates a bathing destination of almost theatrical natural beauty within the deep valleys of southern Nagano's Achi highlands.
