| Facility | Spring | Source data | Supply | Bath type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Onsen no Mori | Alkaline simple spring. | Source temperature: Not published for this facility's source. The area's stated maximum of 72°C applies to Yuda Onsen overall, not this bath's individual source. pH: 9.1, according to the facility's current bath information. | The facility uses natural hot-spring water.

A practical day-use complex for combining a soak, sauna and a break in one visit. The tattoo rule is strict, and weekday late-night pricing does not apply on Friday, Saturday, Sunday or public holidays. |
| Umenoya — Tsuyahada no Yu | Mildly alkaline simple spring; the hotel's own spring is pH 8.03 and rich in sodium and bicarbonate ions Source: Umenoya's own spring blended with a hotter Yuda spring; the exact source names are not published | Source temperature: Not published; the hotel only explains that hot and cooler spring water are blended pH: 8.03 (Umenoya's own spring) | The hotel says it tempers hotter Yuda spring water with its cooler own spring, without adding water or heating, and serves 100% spring water as a flow-through bath. | Ryokan. Once the renovation is confirmed complete, this is a strong lower-priced option for guests seeking a documented spring-water bath.
