The water rises from the oldest layer in Japan, ten minutes from the station.
It is an onsen inside Tokyo that you reach by train: ten minutes on foot from Okutama Station, the terminus of the Ōme Line. There is an open-air bath overlooking the Tama valley and an indoor one, plus a foot bath.
The water springs from the 古生層, the Palaeozoic layer, which is considered the oldest in Japan, and the facility states that it uses the spring water one hundred per cent, with nothing added.
