Tanigawa [Hot Spring] - Tanigawa

Japanese: 谷川[温泉] - たにがわ

This hot spring is located in Minakami-cho, Tone-gun, in northern Gunma Prefecture. It gushes out from the confluence of the Tanigawa River, a tributary of the Tone River, and the Hodonosawa River, at the southern foot of Mt. Tanigawa. The spring is a nitrate spring with a temperature of 43-60°C. As it is the trailhead for Mt. Tanigawa, it is often used by climbers, and with the nearby Tanigawadake White Valley National Ski Resort, it is also bustling in winter. It is about 2km from Minakami Station on the Joetsu Line.
