There are all kinds of different hot spring 'hells' to check out. The food sold inside is delicious and not too expensive.

Benten Rock
Located in Itoigawa City, Niigata Prefecture, Benten Rock is a massive reef created by an undersea volcanic eruption in the Sea of Japan. Crossing the striking vermilion Akebono Bridge, visitors can observe volcanic ejecta formed from fragments of lava and volcanic ash.
Benten Rock is really impressive. Standing there, the sea breeze totally wakes you up!

KO52 TAKAO
This retail multiplex was opened in Spring 2024 in the revamped space that once housed the Keio Takao Building Annex. The KO52 name is coined as a wink at the Keio Electric Railway Takao Line's Takao Station. The “KO” also doubles as a nod to the Japanese word for individuality, and a whimsical invitation to “feel free” (52 or “go-jiyuu-ni” in Japanese sounds “feel free to go ahead”) at this “go to” hub.
KO52 doesn't feel like a tourist spot at all. It has a low-key vibe that locals would love. Besides alcohol, they also have coffee and snacks, so it's totally fine to bring kids along.
