It is a super alkaline spring (pH 9.6) that is 100% sourced directly from the source.Furthermore, it is colorless, transparent, tasteless and odorless!Opened over 300 years ago😳The warning is probably because the age group is older.

Day-trip hot springs open until 5:00pm, which is inconvenient.becameWhen I went there during the Obon holiday, it was so crowded that I didn't want to use it anymore.It's a shame because the hot springs are really good.

I went to a hot spring for a day trip. The price is cheap at 500 yen. The hot water is thick and very nice. There are no saunas or open-air baths.

As the inn has been around for a long time, the building itself is showing its age.However, the room was clean, the sink was clean, and the toilet had a washlet.The hot springs are flowing directly from the source, making you feel comfortable.The food was delicious and I was very satisfied.However, the sashimi was a little dry on the surface, but it's not what you expect from seafood when you come to the mountains.You can add horse sashimi separately, but it's hearty to begin with, so it might be suitable for people who eat a lot.We also have solo travel plans, so it's recommended for people who want to take it easy.

5/5
We always come here every weekend and invite our friends from Tokyo or from abroad as the water is really good for the skin.I learned that the high pH of the water is very good for the skin. After coming here for a year, my pregnancy scars were mostly gone. Our skin became as soft as a baby’s skin!Every summer, my kids suffer eczema and we bring them here to be treated.The tap or faucet water also comes from the hot spring.After bathing here, your body will be so tired for 24-48 hours.Once I had a sprain, it worsened the pain for the whole night then it became better the next day.It really is worth the trip to visit here. A true magic from mother nature!
