前から気になっていた、おおの温泉。やはり大野にあるぬくいの湯とは一線を画す、大野町民御用達、温泉専用施設の正統派(?)温泉です。入浴料は600円でJAFなどの割引き適用はありません。内湯はおおの温泉と谷汲温泉(谷汲から運んでいるのかな?)の2種類。泉質はややぬめり気はあるけど、総じてクセのない感じ。露天は比較的大きくてぬるめで、いつまででも入っていられるのが嬉しいです。マッサージなどはないみたいだ...

- Gifu Ogaki-shi Kuruwamachi 2-10
- "This long-established Japanese confectionery shop was started in 1798. Ogaki is called the ""City of Water,"" and the popular confection ""Kinchoen Manju"" is the result of trying to create a sweet that suited the water of Ogaki with modified research. The sweet bean paste using plenty of good quality groundwater has a clean taste without any harshness. It is their prided product wrapped in yeast for making sake that they have made for over 150 years. Tesshin Ohara, who was once the feudal lord of the Mino-Ogaki domain, was very impressed when given them, and it is said the name of the confection was chosen in a song to praise it."

- Gifu Anpachi-gun Anpachi Cho Nakazu 202
- A public facility operated by Anpachi Town, this welfare facility for the elderly was created as part of a town plan to develop welfare that benefits both mind and body. The facility's bathhouse makes use of a salt spring welling up from 1,500 meters underground. Its waters ease nerve, muscle, and joint pain, as well as fatigue, and many local residents make use of the facility as a place to recuperate mind and body. As body soap, shampoo, and other amenities are not provided in the bathhouse, users must bring their own or purchase them at the front desk. Many people come here after working up a sweat at the adjoining Kenko Fureai Dome sports facility playing gateball, tennis, or other light sports.
