Awanoyu
390-1515 Nagano, Matsumoto, Azumi 4181, Japan – Great location - show map
The onsen was beyond expectations! It was warm and relaxing. It was a bit uncomfortable to be around so many naked people, but no one really looks at you. Women can use a "bathing robe" that they provide, which I did and was tremendously helpful in making me more comfortable. Guys have to be nude though. The dinner and breakfast were soooo good! Def worth the money!
