Akakura Yours Inn is proud to provide all-natural water in our onsen hot spring bath. The source is high on the north side of Mt. Myoko, one of the 100 Famous Mountains of Japan. Water rises from the earth at a place known as Kita Jigokudani (the North Hell Valley) at more than 50°C (122°F) and is piped down to the hotel. Enjoy a soothing, healthful and invigorating soak after a full day enjoying Akakura.

There are many onsen in Japan containing a variety of effective elements; Akakura Onsen is notable for its high concentrations of sulfates and bicarbonates, and for being rich in calcium and other minerals.

Transparent to occasionally white in color; presence of brown sediments. The onsen water here contains something known as yu no hana, or gonsen flowers.h These are naturally-occurring mineral deposits that are not a contamination of the water or mere dirt, but a sign of the presence of highly desirable minerals.

The water is tasteless and has no strong odor.
