Access to Yubara Onsen Nekohana no Yu is along National Route 148. Coming from the direction of Hakuba Village, after passing the "Otari Roadside Station," look for a beckoning cat-shaped hot spring sign on the right side just before the Yubara Tunnel. Following the road from the sign, there is a downhill slope on the right, and at the bottom of the slope, you will see a prefabricated hut. Access is primarily by car, taking about 5 minutes from the national highway, but in winter, the route may change due to snow conditions. Additionally, winter operations depend on snowfall conditions, so prior confirmation is necessary. Information about access by public transportation is scarce, and visits are generally assumed to be by private vehicle. In winter, snow tires and four-wheel drive vehicles are recommended.
