The water

Five sources with quite different temperatures and minerals; the local water is often described as a calcium-sodium chloride spring.

History

It's a young onsen: the spring was drilled on the north shore in 1992. Because the lake was already a Fuji sightseeing area, more than 50 onsen inns quickly appeared.
