Daisetsu Kougen Onsen is a treat, a quiet spot at the end of a winding mountain dirt road that goes over rushing rivers and through thick forests. There are brown (higuma) bears here, so hiking has to be done on approved trails and with the permission of rangers, but it's a stunning location. The baths are simple, but hot, and the rotenburo looks out over a lovely mountainside full of conifers and maples.
Getting here is possible by bus, but best done in a private vehicle. The place is only open 123 days a year, the spring to early fall. If you overnight, be prepared for simple rooms, no English spoken, and few frills beyond the basics...but those are usually the exact reasons people seek to come here.
