In Nibuminakami Shrine that worships the Water Goddess half the way to the top of Mt. Yudono, there is a special hot spring particular for the quality of its water. The temperature out of the source is of 18 degrees and carbon dioxide is present in big quantities inside the water, which is very rare in Japan. This water is what we call “The Water of the Gods” (Kami no yu), the onsen of Yudonosan Sanrosho lodge. Inside the bath room you will find an altar dedicated to Amaterasu’s sister Nibutsu Hime no Kami, the goddess of Mercury. Hence, the bath water is somehow filled with the soft and gentle power of the goddess. To enter the bath, please bow once in front of the praying Altar before soaking into the water. Feel all the change that occurred from your “Rebirth Journey” during that delighting moment.
