Among all the natural springs in the country, Dake Onsen is rare in that its water has an acidic quality. As it streams down a distance of approx. 8 km from the spring to Dake Onsen, the water gets softened and becomes good for the skin. Dake Onsen is located midway on Mt. Adatara, where visitors can enjoy sakura during spring, young green leaves in summer, colorful leaves in autumn and snow-covered landscapes in winter. The air and water is excellent and it was once even selected as the "number one natural environment in Japan" according to a survey by Japan's Onsen Association. Accommodations are of course numerous, as well as day-use onsen facilities.
