Timeline
06:27
Arrive at the hotel grounds to find a quiet spot near the outdoor baths. The early light on the base of Mt. Chokai is calm and crisp. Bring your own towel for bathing if you wish to soak in the warmth while watching the sky lighten.
07:42
Head inside or to the lobby for breakfast or coffee once the hotel services begin. Use this time to reflect on the sunrise you just witnessed before the day fully starts.
07:57
Spend your final minutes at the hotel enjoying the morning atmosphere. Follow signs from Yashima or Kawauchi if you need to navigate the local area later.
Local tip
The sunrise is at 06:57. Arriving 30 minutes before ensures you have a good vantage point without rushing.
Check before you go
