Drinking Spring Fountain

The origin of the Misasa Onsen, "Kabu-yu", and the foot bath, "Yakushi-no-yu", as well as "Kamino-yu" in Misasa shrine, are scattered throughout the onsen town. Please have a little taste of the onsen water while you are strolling around. Although the hot spring water has a somewhat unique taste, many people fill plastic bottles with it because "it is believed to be good for their stomach". However, be mindful of drinking too much. Please limit it to 2 to 3 cups (180ml each) per day. Since it contains a lot of electrolytes, it can cause loose stools
