Yakushi hot spring is renowned for its high quality water with health restorative properties. As the hot spring water flows freely to the surface without the assistance of pumps, there is a constant source of fresh water with much lower maintenance costs than onsen that require drilling. Situated in a private forest, Yakushi is splendid in its isolation and lends itself perfectly to a health and wellness/spa/yoga/aesthetics complex or high-end spa hotel. Despite being secluded, Yakushi hot spring is only a 15-minute drive from the Annupuri and Moiwa ski lifts.
