A Hidden Spring 1,700 Years in the Flowing

A Hidden Spring 1,700 Years in the Flowing

🏔️Umegashima Onsen, high on the Abe River, one of Japan's great open-air sources, welling up naturally for some 1,700 years
🗡️Takeda Shingen's 'hidden bath', and the mountain cure resort behind the Edo-era tale Onihei Hankacho
🏯Founded in the first year of Meiji, the oldest and largest inn in Umegashima Onsen

Thick, Natural Sulphur Water

Thick, Natural Sulphur Water

♨️Silky sulphur water known for its strength, never cut with added water
🛁1.2 tonnes an hour drawn from the source, part Kakenagashi and part circulated
🌿No open-air bath, and deliberately so — contact with the air would degrade the sulphur

Kin-no-Yu, the Untouched Bath

Kin-no-Yu, the Untouched Bath

🥇Neither heated nor diluted, straight from the source at its richest and silkiest
🛀A hinoki tsubo tub in Tokiwa-no-Yu (men's) and a ceramic one in Choju-no-Yu (women's) hold the Kin-no-Yu
⏰Both bathhouses are open around the clock, apart from morning cleaning and water changes

Private Family Baths and a Reflexology Corridor

Private Family Baths and a Reflexology Corridor

🔒Two private family baths, stone-built Ishiburo and cave-like Anaburo, free to use whenever empty
🦶The bathhouse corridor doubles as Onihei's Health Walkway, a bamboo-tread reflexology path
📜A lobby case displays manuscripts by the poet Yoshii Isamu and photo albums from Meiji to Showa

Into the Mountains of Oku-Shizu

🚌About 2 hours on the Shizutetsu Abe Line bus for Umegashima Onsen from JR Shizuoka Station's north exit, and the last stop is the door
