Last Hidden Hot Spring in Kanto Area

The in-house hot spring source of Hatcho-no-Yu is 100% natural flowing from a hot spring source. The quality of the hot spring, where sinter deposits just gushed forth from the earth are dancing around, has been fascinating many funs.

Our proud hot spring is the never-reheated self-flowing high-temperature hot spring (neutral hypotonic high-temperature hot spring). As the stimulus and the burden on the body are light, the hot srping water mildly sinks into your skin.

Enjoy the three mixed baths including "Yukimi-no-Yu" (Bath of Snow Viewing), which was built at the inauguration time on 1929, "Takimi-no-Yu" (Bath of Waterfall Viewing), and "Shakunage-no-Yu" (Bath of Rhododendron), as well as an outdoor bath of waterfall-viewing (women only), where you can enjoy the dynamic scenery while viewing a waterfall.

The highest-quality hot spring experiences surrounded by the sound of nature and the fragrances of seasons are the best "O-mo-te-na-shi" (hospitality) of Hatcho-no-Yu.

"Lodge of Lamps"
in Untouched Nature

The blesssing of mountain is the blessing of people.
The insistence on ingredients is the insistence on smiles.

Hatcho-no-Yu used to be known as "Lodge of Lamps" because there were no electric wires here until 1988.
Now, our facilities are electrified, but still lit by warm lamps selected carefully by the owner.
