Shinmei Onsen

A secluded hot spring located in Itadori, Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, an area known as Okumino, its vaunted waters are used to constantly refill the tubs of the Shinmei Onsen Spa Resort Sugishima hot spring inn's bathhouse kakenagashi style. The colorless, mildly alkaline simple spring's waters are said to treat stiff shoulders, rheumatism, joint pain, and atopy and other skin diseases; they are also said to grant beautiful skin to bathers. The inn complex, an estate built by a wealthy farmer 150 years ago and later moved here, combines the elegance of Hida culture with the simplicity of the rural Okumino region, giving it warmth and depth. The inn's bathhouse is also open to non-guests, who, with an advance reservation, can even use the private reservable bath. The inn serves a lunch which enables diners to revel in the tastes of Okumino and savor Hida beef; bathhouse entry is also discounted for diners.
