Kuronagi Onsen open air hot spring public bath — Local services in Kurobe

This is my new favourite place in all of Japan. When I went there was no one there but me. It's so serene, with waterfalls all around, and the sound of the river raging nearby.

For people who are shy or uncomfortable with nakedness, this onsen allows bathing suits. There's a small shelter for men and another for women to change in and leave your clothes; I brought my own towel, unsure if they have a towel rental service. When I went it was 900 yen to enter, and well worth it in my opinion. I would definitely come back here again.

To get here you have to take to Kurobe Gorge train one stop to Kuronagi (about 25 min or so), which has some amazing mountain views that are worth paying for anyway. Then you walk 20 min along the mountain from the station on a well marked path. You don't need to be really fit, but it is not accessible.

Normally photos aren't allowed, but since I was completely alone I took some to show just how...

This place is just incredible. The hike to get here is very peaceful and the onsen is something you have to see it to believe it. The owners of the shop were very kind and the food was delicious. I would give 100 stars if I could. They are also tattoo friendly. Thank...

黒部峡谷トロッコ電車でしか行けない温泉です。 車の方は、宇奈月温泉で駐車をして、トロッコ電車に乗り換えます。 混浴露店風呂ですが、水着やバスタオルの使用も可なので、少しは？ハードルが下がるかもしれません。 男女別の簡易更衣室があり、その中で着替えて入浴します。このご時世、写真だけを撮りにいらっしゃる方もいるので、それは止めていたできたいなぁと。 温泉の温度は適温で（自分は熱いお風呂が苦手です）、快適でした、ただ、黒薙温泉駅から片道15分から20分程度かかり、最初は登りなので帰りは下りと思いきや、登って下るので、当然、帰りも登って下ります。体力や足腰に自信のない方は、キツいかもしれません。 このご時世、熊も出現するかもしれませんので、対策をしていった方が無難かもしれません（自分は丸腰でしたが…）。 以上、...
