Babadani hot spring
Hot Spring Overview
Babadani Onsen is a hot spring located in Kurobe City, Toyama Prefecture, deep within the Kurobe Gorge. It can be found along a mountain trail in the Babadani Valley, beyond Keyakidaira Station, the last stop on the Kurobe Gorge Railway. Known as a secluded and wild hot spring surrounded by vast nature, it is popular among hikers and "hitou" (hidden hot spring) enthusiasts. The "Babadani Onsen Goya" mountain hut is the sole accommodation, offering a rustic hot spring experience with abundant, free-flowing spring water. The area is enveloped by steep mountains and pristine, untouched nature, creating a tranquil haven.

Babadani Onsen requires a hike of approximately 50 minutes to 1 hour along a mountain trail from Keyakidaira Station, the terminus of the Kurobe Gorge Railway, and cannot be accessed directly by car.

It is situated in a rugged natural environment, and the number of visitors is limited, allowing one to fully experience the atmosphere of a hidden hot spring. Considering these factors comprehensively, it was evaluated as Level 3 "Secluded Hot Spring."
