Dear Matsumoto Fans,
\nHow are you today?<\/p>\n

Sakura petals have begun to scatter and the new green is taking over the Sakura trees.
\nActually, I think the new green in late spring and early summer looks great!<\/p>\n

I think this is an exciting time to be in Matsumoto as well.
\nI see there are many visitors in town these days, even at the cafe I am writing from.<\/p>\n

Most visitors focus on the area around the station, which is quite rich, but I recommend that you take the bus (or take a walk) to the Asama Onsen area in the northern part of the city.<\/p>\n

All you have to do is follow Metoba River!<\/p>\n

There is an easily accessible onsen (hot spring) establishment in Asama, an onsen area full of traditional hotels and baths you can visit daily.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The establishment is called “Hot Plaza Asama”, it’s a day bathing facility open all day long from 10 AM to midnight,
\nit has a sauna, a cold bath, a jacuzzi area and an outdoor rock bath. Basically it has everything.<\/p>\n

It is popular among visitors as it allows people with tattoos. 
\nThe sauna is hot and enjoyable, hotter than many other saunas in town.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I went the other day and caught a glimpse of cherry blossoms, and an advertisement for a ramen festival in town.
\nSome day bathing facilities have a lunch area, but I could not find one in Hot Plaza, so I went to a small restaurant right out of the establishment to enjoy Sanzokuyaki, the main dish of the city.<\/p>\n

I recommend going to Asama to end your day in Matsumoto with a sauna and a nice hot bath and some fried chicken!<\/p>\n

For those of you who do not want to go inside, you can enjoy the free foot bath outside.
\nTowels are available to purchase inside the facility!<\/p>\n

Address:
\nAsamaonsen 3 Chome-16-3<\/p>\n
