About Gandate Gorge Hime Shaga no Yu

"Gandate Gorge Hime Shaga no Yu" is a hot spring facility nestled in the great nature of Osaka Town, Gero City, where guests can enjoy a rare high-concentration natural carbonated spring, one of the few in Japan. Known as a therapeutic bathhouse for 300 years, its rich source water turns brownish when exposed to air and is so fresh that it can even be drunk. The sauna, introduced in 2024 and fueled by wood pellets, lets guests enjoy gentle heat through self-loyly. The highlight is the 100% source-water cold bath, where the carbon dioxide creates a distinctive tingling sensation on the skin, gently yet strikingly cooling down a body heated by the sauna.

Hot SpringONSEN

Free-flow from source

Hida-Osaka Onsen

An exceptionally rare high-concentration natural carbonated spring in Japan. It emerges clear and colorless, but because it contains a lot of iron, it turns a vivid brownish color when exposed to air. It has a lively sparkling texture and is prized for its excellent ability to retain warmth and keep the body warm from deep within. At the drinking spring area, you can directly taste the stimulating carbonation, supporting your health from the inside as well.

Men'sWomen's

A Finnish-style sauna equipped with the latest non-electric stove, VENERE, which uses wood pellets as fuel. It offers the soft, enveloping heat reminiscent of a wood-fired sauna. Self-loyly is available, and the fragrance and steam of aroma water made with natural herbs spread throughout the room, bringing deep relaxation and pleasant perspiration at the same time.

Men'sWomen's

A luxurious cold bath that uses a high-concentration natural carbonated spring directly from the source with 100% free-flowing water, without heating or dilution. The water temperature is mild at around 20°C, but the tingling sensation from the carbon dioxide and its strong circulation-boosting effect create a refreshing feeling beyond the actual temperature. Installed both indoors and outdoors, it lets you feel the gifts of nature with your whole body.
