Mikurigaike Onsen (Murodō, Tateyama)
みくりが池温泉（立山室堂）
About 12 minutes on foot from Murodō terminal, the hub of the Tateyama-Kurobe Alpine Route, this inn at 2,410 m is Japan's highest hot-spring lodging. Milky acidic sulphur water piped from Jigokudani flows 100% free, and outside the window is another world: the 3,000-metre Tateyama range and the volcanic lake Mikurigaike. The bath is indoor only; day use 09:00–16:00, ¥1,100 for adults. The café's blueberry soft-serve and curry are favourites. Open only during the mountain season, mid-April to late November; closed in winter. Especially busy during the Snow Corridor (Apr–Jun) and autumn colours (late Sep–early Oct). With the altitude and strong water, keep your soak short.

Unazuki Onsen Soyu Yumedokoro
The town bathhouse in front of Unazuki Onsen Station, gateway to the Kurobe Gorge Railway. A bright white bathroom with tubs of Kurobe granite holds crystal-clear, mildly alkaline water said to be Japan's most transparent. Just ¥510, with a free foot bath, drinking fountain and rooftop terrace. Easy to fit in before or after the gorge train.
Himi Onsen Soyu
Next to the Himi Banya-gai seafood market near the port famous for winter yellowtail, a day spa fed by its own well 1,250 m down. The brown, strongly saline water flows freely, and on clear days the rotenburo frames the Tateyama range across Toyama Bay. Open 10:00–23:00, from 7:00 on weekends and holidays. ¥950. The classic routine: kaisen-don or conveyor sushi at the market, then a soak.
Kintarō Onsen Karuna no Yakata
Ten minutes by car from Kurobe-Unazuki-Onsen Station on the Hokuriku Shinkansen, a large day-spa wing of the lone inn Kintarō Onsen in Uozu. Its sulfur-rich sodium-calcium chloride water is among the most concentrated in Hokuriku, gushing at 1,800 litres a minute. A giant rock bath built from Tateyama boulders, open-air baths, a carbonated bath, rock-bath rooms and four private baths; open daily 8:30–23:30. Admission ¥1,100.
