What is the spring quality and character of Hebi-no-Yu Hot Spring?
It is a simple mineral spring that is nearly odorless and tasteless. The source temperature is approximately 10°C, so we heat it before providing it. It is characterized by a light, smooth bathing feel. The name 'Hebi-no-Yu' (snake hot spring) comes from a legend of an injured serpent healing its wounds in the hot water by the riverbed.

No, we use circulation and filtration with heating. However, there is minimal chlorine odor, and the water is clean and pleasant. We manage it appropriately according to the spring's natural flow rate.
