♨️A Miracle Spring, Rising Right Beneath Your Feet

Okayama · Okutsuso, Okutsu Onsen

A Miracle Spring Rising Beneath Your Feet

• ♨️Water wells up directly from the tub floor in a rare 'ashimoto-yushutsu' spring — a phenomenon found in only about 0.001% of Japan's hot springs.
• 💧With a natural flow of 247 liters per minute, it's 100% source-fed kakenagashi — no recirculation, no reheating, no dilution.
• 🌿A pH 9.3 alkaline simple spring at 42.6°C — colorless, odorless, and gently soft to the touch.

Four Baths, Four Distinct Characters

• 🪨The signature 'Kagiyu' is an indoor bath whose floor is the natural granite riverbed itself
• 🧍Tachi-yu, a standing bath up to 120cm deep, offers a delightfully unusual way to soak.
• 🚪Two private baths round things out — river-view Kawa-no-yu and Izumi-no-yu, lit through stained glass.

Rooms Embracing the Mountain Stream

• 🏡The detached rooms 'Seikantei' and 'Chosentei' are Japanese-Western rooms with private open-air baths fed straight from the source
• 🌊Most rooms face the mountain stream, carrying the character of a nationally registered tangible cultural property.
• 🛋️Choose from traditional tatami rooms to the modern TSUBAKI and KEYAKI rooms with their own shower booths.

Kaiseki Through Okayama's Four Seasons

Flavors of the Season
