Hot Spring Specialties

A rare, pitch black hot spring like ink, even in Japan.
The hot spring owned by the inn "Oidekan" has a rare black hot spring that is pitch black due to the mineral deposits, commonly known as "Sumi no Yu". The water contains a lot of iron, but most iron-containing waters are usually a dark reddish-brown in color. This is why black hot springs are highly prized. Curiously enough, it is said that the black color deepens on rainy days, and because it contains iron, drinking it can be effective for people with anemia. If you soak in the water for a while, black mineral deposits will stick to your body, which is popular, and many people bring back a towel stained black as a memento of their trip.
