A sodium-led bicarbonate spring — the classic juso-sen style, neutral in pH and soft on the skin, with moderate mineralization of about 1,169 mg/kg dissolved solids. It sits squarely in Japan's beauty-water family: a generous 159.9 mg/kg of metasilicic acid, backed by 113.4 mg/kg of metaboric acid, leaves the kind of silica film that makes skin feel noticeably smoother afterwards. The certificate takes its sample at the open-air bath inlet rather than at the wellhead, so the figures describe the water as it actually reaches the pool.

Stayed overnight in March 2023. There is a day-use option, and it is included in the Okuhida tegata. There are 2 public onsen with alternating men’s and women’s hours, and two free kashikiri baths on a first-come, first-served basis. All onsen have an indoor bath and a rotenburo, and each one has more or less the same view of the forest-covered mountains. The lodging is great. A large room with its own irori and huge windows. The food is also good, meals are served in separate private rooms with irori. Overall, the service is 10/10, I would come back again. But there are stronger onsen in Okuhida, so 4/5.

857. Katsuragi no Sato, Fukuji Onsen, Okuhida Onsen, Gifu ★ I visited for a higaeri using the Okuhida tegata (2 stickers), the regular price is 1000. Higaeri is listed from 15:00 to 21:00. There is a bath rotation between men and women. Inside the facility, it feels very ryokan-like and pleasant. 1. Outdoor stone bath. A view of the trees beyond the fence. In the middle of the bath lies a huge boulder that divides it into two parts, and you can crawl under it. The water is clear with a light, sparse mineral deposit. Temperature 41. 2. Indoor wooden bath. The water is clear, temperature 42. It is comfortable to breathe inside. A pleasant place. It is also worth considering for staying overnight. 10.03.2026
