Mogamiya no Yu spring that warms your bones to the core
The brown hot spring water of Mogamiya called "Oshu no Yakuyu" is a salt spring that contains a lot of iron, and although it is mild, it warms you well after a bath.
At our resort, we specially focus on the traditional practices of hot springs. That is why we use this special hot water luxuriously without adding water or circulating it.The effects are guaranteed.
You can enjoy 3 options of baths: two large baths that rotate male/female entry or a private reservation-only bath, each with its own characteristics.
- Effects
- Neuralgia, rheumatism, burns, whiplash, poor circulation, cuts, recovery after surgery, etc. Mogamiya's hot spring is a non-circulating bath of constantly flowing cloudy brown sodium sulfate salt water (Nigori-yu) that contains a lot of iron. A special trait of the spring is that even after you get out of the bath, its warmth stays with you for a long time, and it is very effective not only for neuralgia and joint pain, but also for poor circulation, the recovery period after surgery, and cuts and burns.
History of Kamasaki Onsen
Kamasaki Onsen has been popular for more than 600 years as a medicinal bath for the Ou region, which is surrounded by the foothills of Minamizao.
"Over 600 years ago, someone was cutting wood in the mountains and went down to the swamp's edge in search of water. When they dug the rocks away from a tree's roots with a sickle, an abundantly flowing hot spring billowing white smoke appeared. "
The custom of Kamasaki Onsen is said to come from this event. It is said that the lord of Sendai Castle, Date Masamune, and the lord of Shiroishi Castle, Kojuro Katakura, also visited the hot spring. At the hot spring shrine, there are also many canes left as offerings by people who had been cured by the hot springs.
