I’m going to be visiting Shibu Onsen this November. And I'd like to know which hot spring I should try while I'm there.

There are actually only 9 public baths at Shibu Onsen, and they say good fortune comes to those who complete the entire bath tour. So buy a towel for 300 yen at your hotel in Shibu Onsen and go tour all nine. You can get a stamp on your towel at each facility.
