## Overview
Okuhida Hot Spring Village has designated June 26th each year as 'Open-Air Bath Day' to allow everyone to fully enjoy the Okuhida open-air bath route, which takes advantage of the region's abundant hot spring water. Our hot spring village is rare in Japan as a treasure trove of open-air baths, and is said to have the highest number in the country.

Among the approximately 100 open-air baths in the village—including Hirayu, Fukuji, Shin-Hirayu, Tochio, and Shinhotaka—we are offering free entry to six popular baths (subject to certain conditions). We hope everyone can fully enjoy the baths and refresh their minds and bodies.
