There are two areas with completely different atmospheres: the Niiyu, Yumachi, and Tokamachi areas, where samurai residences, warehouses, and other remnants of the castle town of the Kaminoyama clan and inn towns along the Hashu Highway remain, and the Hayama, Kawasaki, and Takamatsu areas, which are located on high ground with an excellent view overlooking the Zao mountain range.

The clear, colorless, refreshing water is said to be gentle enough for even babies to enjoy.

The water is said to be effective in retaining heat and moisture, and is also known as the "hot water of beauty.
