The Cotton-Wrapped Spring

This rare, naturally gushing source emerges from beneath 'Gensenkaku,' nestled beside Kusatsu Onsen's iconic Yubatake (Kusatsu's central hot-water field). Despite its strong acidity, its waters offer a remarkably soft bathing sensation, akin to being enveloped in silk floss. The milky-white waters, renowned for having Kusatsu's finest 'yunohana' (hot spring minerals), gently embrace the skin, contributing to silky skin and providing a restorative warmth that lingers deep within the body. Known as a 'phantom spring' for its history of disappearing once during the Taisho era, it now offers a profound escape from daily life, inviting deep relaxation and rejuvenation.

Mountain Salt Spring of the Southern Alps

The Kashio no Yu No. 1 source draws seawater-strength brine from the heart of the Southern Alps, far from any coast, and the place name Kashio, "deer salt," is said to recall deer that gathered to lick the salty water. For generations this brine has been boiled down to make mountain salt. Its dense salts and gentle sulfur aroma wrap the body, letting warmth linger long after the bath. It soothes travelers who wish to steep quietly in a rare salt spring deep in a mountain village.
