湯ノ澤霊泉

September 8, 2025 Located just before Hachimori Onsen Yurinko. I visited for the first time in 20 years. There's parking space next to the road. Although it says it's not suitable for drinking, I drank it. My personal impression is that it had a hard, almost hard water feel, and seemed like it would go well with coffee. Those with sensitive stomachs should probably avoid drinking it directly. There are two taps, so you can quickly fill up your water bottle. It's very well maintained, so I recommend it after a hot spring bath.

We stopped by on the second day of our group trip. We stopped off after lunch at a nearby hot spring facility! It was cold and well-maintained. Of course, we got some of the blessed water of immortality! Now I won't die! That's ridiculous! 😁✋ Today, we're starting our tour from here! Well, we're doing a ramen tour, too! From here, we're heading to Yuza Town. It's been over a decade since I've had this water. This time, I got some in a bottle and will treasure it. Thank you very much.

I visited here around Obon, recommended by a friend from Yamagata. I had heard that it's usually very crowded, so I was prepared to wait in line, but perhaps I was lucky with the timing, as there was no one there and it was quiet. It was a hot and humid day, but the water that gushed out was cold and delicious. If possible, I'd love to enjoy shaved ice with this water.

You can get very cold water here. Be careful as some parts of the ground are wet. It can be slippery in places. As the warning sign states, drinking the water is at your own risk. I tried a little on the spot, and I didn't experience any changes in my health afterward. It was delicious water, with a sweet taste, completely different from tap water.

Located on the left bank of the Arase River headworks, a tributary of the Hyuga River, this cool, delicious natural spring water is perfect for stopping by when fishing for cherry salmon, sweetfish, or sea fishing. There is also a day-trip hot spring facility across the street, which I often use.
