The Hita Mikuma River Hot Spring, featuring a natural source open-air bath, is our pride. Hita is surrounded by the mountains of the Aso-Kuju and Hikosan ranges, blessed with abundant water springing from deep strata. Our hot spring source is drilled approximately 1,500m underground near the "Yu-no-Taki" (Hot Water Falls) at the main entrance, where hot spring water at approximately 70°C flows continuously.
Hita is surrounded by the mountains of the Aso-Kuju and Hikosan ranges, blessed with abundant water springing from deep strata, and has long been called "Suikyo" (Water Village). Our hot spring source is drilled approximately 1,500m underground near the "Yu-no-Taki" (Hot Water Falls) at the main entrance, where hot spring water at approximately 70°C flows continuously. Because the hot spring springs from the natural blessings of the earth, the quality of the water is excellent and suitable for drinking.

As a ryokan proud of its hot springs, we confidently offer our "open-air bath". This hot spring contains components known as "beautiful skin water" and is expected to have a moisturizing effect that leaves your skin supple after bathing. Because the blessings of nature are dissolved in it, the spring quality is excellent, and we use "Yume-dake" (bamboo rain pipes) to adjust the temperature to a comfortable level so you can enjoy the natural source water as it is.

Both men's and women's large baths are equipped with authentic saunas that can accommodate up to 24 people. The cold water bath uses natural flowing groundwater, and the gentle natural coolness refreshes your mind and body.
The temperature is 80-90 degrees Celsius, using a convection system that heats the air.
Therefore, you can comfortably warm your body without feeling the stimulation of being grilled.
Also, because humidity is obtained through löyly, breathing is easy. You can enjoy it slowly over time.
Saunas have various health benefits, and the key is the sweating action.
Löyly promotes perspiration, which is believed to enhance health benefits.
In addition, what should be noted is the "comfort".
You can become healthy comfortably without enduring.
