Yao Natural Hot Spring
TypeNatural Hot Spring
Once beloved as a therapeutic bathing resort, this spring has gathered the earth's bounty over long ages and still wells up continuously today. The water quality is a sodium chloride and bicarbonate hot spring. The slightly golden water has a soft, clingy texture that is gentle on the skin, leaving a slow, deep warmth after bathing. Because of its high heat retention and moisturizing properties, it is known as Bihada no Yu (the skin-beautifying bath). The spring can be enjoyed across a variety of baths including open-air baths, waterfall-jet baths, and medicinal baths. All water is supplied as free-flowing source water, without artificial dilution or reheating, so guests can fully savor the spring's natural power. This long-healing water continues to attract many visitors as a famed Yao hot spring.
