About Anan Onsen Kajika no Yu
"Anan Onsen Kajika no Yu" is a day-use hot spring facility in Anan Town, Shimoina District, Nagano Prefecture. It sits in a beautiful natural setting with the clear waters of the Kamihara River flowing right in front of it. Its pride and joy are the spacious men’s and women’s large baths, among the biggest in Nagano Prefecture, and an open-air bath with a sweeping view of the Kamihara Ohashi Bridge. The water is an alkaline simple hot spring with a remarkable pH of over 10. The moment you step into it, the thick, silky texture gently envelops your skin like a veil, creating an exquisite bathing experience. In addition to a compact but impressively hot high-temperature sauna, it also features a "genzen bath" that uses approximately 30°C water straight from the source for cooling down after the sauna, allowing for a comfortable hot-and-cold alternating bath experience that places no strain on the body.
