Pro-Tip for Travelers: While the station is named Tamatsukuri-Onsen Station, the main hot spring village is about a 5-minute taxi ride or a 25-minute walk away. Most major ryokans offer free shuttle pickups for staying guests from the station—be sure to contact your hotel in advance to arrange a ride! Don't forget to visit the Tamatsukuri-yu Shrine, where you can get a "Wishing Stone" ( 願い石) to create your own personal lucky charm.
