Onoaida onsen is a very popular hot spring for the locals. There is a quaint story passed down through many generations about this hot spring. About 350 years ago, a giant deer after having been shot by local hunter eased its wound in the hot spring. The hot spring was built by the local residents and is used daily. The temperature of this onsen is a steaming 48 °C. The bottom of Onoaida onsen is lined with gravel, which stimulate your feet. It is a simple sulfur hot spring and is said to be good for rheumatism, and neuralgia. Also there is an area outside the hot spring building where you can soak your tired feet in the warm hot spring water. It is very popular with tourists after a hike or mountain climb.
