“Rakuten Travel” buttons are affiliate advertising: bookings made through them earn this site a commission. Which places appear, and in what order, is decided by distance alone. A missing button only means we could not find the place on Rakuten Travel — it does not mean it is closed.

Only places found in OpenStreetMap or on Rakuten Travel appear here. There are very likely more nearby — this table is not a complete list. Names and locations are collected mechanically from those two sources (huts and campsites from OpenStreetMap, bookable inns from Rakuten Travel). The distance is a straight line from the road, not a route you can ride (500 m across a valley may be unreachable). We do not know whether a place is open, takes guests, or lets you bathe — neither availability nor rates were checked. Emergency huts and university lodges are excluded. "onsen" appears only where bath:type=onsen is mapped; its absence does not mean the water is not hot-spring water.

Whether you can ride it is not stated here
