The Soothing Spring of Gora

The Miyagino Combined Spring supplies the Gora Onsen area, one of Hakone's 17 famous springs. Since successful drilling around 1965, this source has supported the development of the Miyagino district as a health resort. By blending multiple sources, it maintains a stable volume and quality. The soft, weakly alkaline water is gentle on the skin, leaving it feeling smooth after bathing. It is recommended for those seeking a moment of peace to gently unwind both body and mind amidst Hakone's rich nature.
