In case of JR Express on Chuo Line, "Express charge" has two types: "Reserved seat" and "Undecided seat".
Both have the same charge, which is no difference depending on the season.
However, the price will vary depending on where you buy. (Internet < Station < Inside the car).

Travel journal of day trip bathing to hot spring
Characters
- Nishi-san
- He is an orthodox hot springs lover and particular about quality of springs. He loves the hot springs flowing from the source, the hot water with a presence, and the rustic atmosphere.
- Kita-san
- He doesn't care much about quality of hot springs. He loves the open-air bath, and prefers hot springs that have visible features such as good views.
(→ Continuation from Nirasaki Asahi-onsen)
On a sunny day in April, Nishi-san and Kita-san have come to Nirasaki for a day trip to the hot springs.
It is a Nirasaki Onsen Tour by bicycle rental.
In the morning, they go to Nirasaki Asahi-onsen, and they are heading to Hakusan-onsen in the afternoon.
Dairinji Temple
The two went up the Asahi Bypass northward, and passed in front of Dairinji Temple.
Sakura along Shirasawa River
Pass the T-junction at Nabeyamashimo and cross the Shirasawa River, and Hakusan-onsen is right there.
♨ Dairinji is a temple built on the trace of AMARI's mansion, who served as the retainer of the TAKEDA family for generations.
♨
Hakusan-onsen entrance sign
Slowly pedaling while watching the spring scenery, they arrived at Hakusan-onsen soon.
Exterior
We've arrived. It didn't take long unexpectedly.
It's a peaceful place.
So clean and green, you know.
It may be because there is an art museum, but it's quiet and calm.
Entrance hall
Nishi-san and Kita-san glanced at the paintings on display at the entrance hall, then went to the bathing room at once.
Indoor bath
Wow, the windows are big and bright.
The water here is also greenish. In short, this whole area may be like that.
The water is not too hot. This is just right.
♨ Men's and women's baths are changed every month. Men's bath at this time is on the left (north side).
Hot water spout and bathtub
Oh! Yunohana is amazing! It's rare that there are so many Yunohana.
Yunohana? Oh, is this so? I thought it was dust.
It's not dust.
Even if it's just dust, when it's called Yunohana, it's kind of grateful. Names are important, you know.
So it's not dust ...
♨ The thermometer in the bathtub was 40℃ (104 ℉).
Next, they went to an open-air bath.
Open-air bath
After all it is unsatisfactory without an open-air bath.
It's not spacious, but a good open-air bath.
The view is good too. What's that spiky mountain?
Nishi-san and Kita-san enjoyed the hot spring water of Hakusan-onsen and came to the break room after the bath.
Break room
... Is this a dining room?
True, ordinary a 3-bedroom house, you know. But it also has a microwave, and may be convenient.
Does it mean to relax like your own home?
The windows through which the soft spring light shined, and the tiredness of climbing up the hill by bicycle invited sleepiness. Nishi-san and Kita-san decided to relax, sipping coffee, and thought that a hot spring trip like this was not bad.
(April 2013)
♨ From the open-air bath, you can see the glittering night view of Nirasaki City.
♨ "That spiky mountain" is probably "Akadake", the highest peak of Yatsugatake. Maybe.
♨ There is a kitchen and it has an electric kettle besides the microwave, and a vending machine for instant ramen too.
Impression & rating
The green bathtub illuminated by the light from the large windows is beautiful. Hot water with yunohana is also very good.

Impression & rating
It's not gorgeous, but it's a hot spring where you can feel rich. The break room is cozy and relaxing.

Sakura on Wanizuka
There is a cherry blossom called "Wanizuka-no-Sakura"
about a dozen minutes walk from Hakusan-onsen.
It is said that it is Edohigan-Sakura about 320 years old.
When you visit Hakusan-onsen in early April, I recommend you to go and see.
