Inuyama Onsen

Inuyama Onsen rises beside Inuyama Castle, a national treasure, and the Kiso River in Inuyama City, Aichi. Set where you can enjoy the charm of a castle town and river scenery, it is known as a newer spring drilled jointly by local inns and hotels in recent decades. The colorless, odorless alkaline water is praised for leaving the skin smooth and is also called the Hakutei waters.
