Source Water Flowing from a Limestone Cave in the Hills Behind

• ♨️Spring water that has surged from a limestone cave in the hills for centuries flows straight through, with no filtering, recirculation, disinfection, or dilution
• 🌄The roofless open-air bath offers a truly panoramic view, with the Tanigawa mountain range unfolding through every season
• 💧A highly alkaline spring, soft and smooth to the touch, known as 'natural hot mineral water'

A Bath Fed by Two Different Springs

• ⛰️Large windows frame the Tanigawa mountain range, with scenery that changes through the seasons
• 🌿The grand bath, Kaden, and Kocho draw on Yuzawa Onsen's simple sulfur spring, while rooms in the Yunosaka wing use the chloride-rich Suwa spring — each with its own mineral character
