About this place
Bessho Onsen is a hot spring in Ueda, Nagano Prefecture. Located at an elevation of about 570 m, it is said to be the oldest hot spring area in Shinshu, and according to legend that Yamato Takeru opened hot springs in seven places and named them "Nanakuri no Onsen" (hot springs that drive away seven sufferings), it is also called "Nanakuri no Yu." Because old temples associated with the Shioda branch of the Hojo clan, such as Anrakuji, Joraku-ji and Kitamuki Kannon, stand close to the hot spring town, it is called the "Kamakura of Shinshu."
