#Nikko Okukinu Hot Springs-Hatcho no Yu Located deep in the mountains of the Okukinu primeval forest! Enjoy pure indulgence in an outdoor hot spring bath surrounded by nature! Relax in a nostalgic mountain hot spring, a gift from the hot spring source. Panoramic view of hot waterfalls and natural forest. Hatcho-no-Yu's own hot spring source is 100% natural. The quality of the hot springs, fresh from the earth, with calcareous sediments floating in between, has always attracted many enthusiasts. We are proud of our hot springs which are artesian hot springs that have never been reheated. The hot spring water penetrates gently into your skin due to its light stimulation and burden on the body. Enjoy three mixed baths including the "Yukimi-no-Yu" (snow viewing bath), "Takikan-no-Yu" (waterfall viewing bath), and "Tsutsukana-no-Yu" (azalea bath) built when the hotel was founded in 1929, as well as an outdoor waterfall viewing bath (female only) where you can enjoy the dynamic scenery while watching the waterfall. The highest quality hot spring experience surrounded by the sounds of nature and the aromas of the seasons is Hatcho-no-Yu's finest "O-mo-te-na-shi" (hospitality). ♦️Visitors’ Notice: #八丁之浴 A mountain lodge located at an altitude of 1,300 meters.
