The history of Makinoto hot spring

『The origin of the hot spring’s name』
Makinoto Hot Spring comes from Maki Yuko

Makinoto Hot Spring was called “Saruwatari” from long ago.In Meiji 1904 it was opened by Naka Hiroto as Nakano Hot Spring, and became widely known as a curative mud bath.

Then, in Showa 1956, the current Kuju Kanko Hotel founder, Mitsugu Matsunaga, took over the rights to the old hot spring and restarted it as Makinoto mountain lodge.

Since even before the highway to the lodge was built, it has been very crowded with mountain climbers from the climbing boom of that time aiming for the Kuju mountains.

A mountain climber from that boom, Maki Yuko (Showa 1958), visited the hot springs on his way to Kuju mountains and was very fond of them, and since then it has become famous, giving it the name Makinoto after him.

Even after that time, Maki visited the hot spring on countless occasions while visiting the rhododendrons in bloom.
(1894 to 1989) Maki Yuko: mountain climber, important cultural contributor, and third Japanese to lead a climbing expedition to Mt. Manaslu.
