The Gentle Spring of Oku-Yumoto

Hakone Yumoto Onsen, said to have been discovered in the Nara period, is home to Yumoto Onsen No. 3. This source quietly gushes from its location in the deepest part of the area, along the Sugumo River valley. Excavated as a horizontal tunnel during the Meiji period, this naturally gushing spring yields soft, alkaline waters that gently envelop the skin. After a bath, one can expect a feeling of lightness, both in body and mind. It continues to be cherished and utilized by surrounding onsen facilities, beloved by those seeking to quietly restore their body and mind amidst abundant nature.
