大茅スキー場
ストーンサークル
These stone circles stand on a steep slope, with many fallen stones below. It is unknown who built them or why. There is a sign from the road pointing down a path that leads by the spires. The stones are located on the slope, a bit off the path, and the path continues past them, so you need to look for them. The fallen stones are the best indicator to stop walking and look up the hill. You can walk up by them, but watch your footing.
湯~とぴあ 黄金泉
A hot spring for day visitors. There is an indoor onsen with a sauna, as well as an open-air onsen with nice views of the forest and river.
