Moegi no Yu uses 100% natural hot spring water drawn directly from deep underground sources in Okutama. The water comes straight from the source without any dilution or additives, providing an authentic onsen experience with therapeutic mineral properties.
Take the JR Ome Line to Okutama Station, which is the final stop on the line. From there, Moegi no Yu is a 10-minute walk from the station. The journey from central Tokyo typically takes around 2 hours depending on your starting point.
The facility offers indoor baths, outdoor baths with views of the Okutama River, and a communal foot bath. The outdoor bath is particularly popular as it allows visitors to enjoy the surrounding mountain scenery while soaking in the natural hot spring waters.
Moegi no Yu experiences high visitor numbers during weekends in summer and throughout the fall foliage season (typically October to November). For a quieter experience, consider visiting on weekdays or outside these peak periods. Early mornings and late afternoons on weekdays tend to be less crowded.
General admission costs 1,050 yen. The facility accepts cash only, so be sure to bring sufficient yen with you. Note that prices may vary depending on the season or time period, so it's advisable to check current rates before your visit.
