Does the quality of piped-in water measure up? See for yourself!
The acidic (pH 2.48) hot spring water mellows as it flows
through long pipes to reach the inn. The result is a uniquely
refreshing bath that will leave your skin feeling smooth andsoft. Water flows from a natural spring down a single pipe
to 16 locations in the Dake Onsen district. This 8-km pipe,
which starts at an elevation of 1450 m and drops 950 m on its
way from source to baths, is what makes Dake Onsen unique.

Drawn by pipe from a natural spring.
