Hirayu has the secret hot spring legend of Singen, too. Singen was the daimyo of the civil war era, and made many secret hot springs. Kami-no-yu is said as the birthplace of Hirayu hot spring. It is an atmosphere like a real hidden hot spring. The little shrine of Fudo is at the back of Kami-no-yu. There is a hut to collect the charge at the entrance of the hot spring. The bath for the man is a short way from the hut, and the bath for the woman is further. ![]() ![]() The origin of Hirayu discovery is introduced like this. Takeda Singen attacked Hida to get Ecchu in the old days. The general is Yamagata Masakage. He led a large force and got over a pass, but they were troubled by the harm mist of the rugged mountain pass. When the forces of Singen arrived near Hirayu, a old white monkcy appeared before them. |

The forces of Singen had a bath at the hot spring to recover from the fatigue of their journey. ![]() The hut of the undressing place of the construction which it has firmly is being built in front of the open-air bath. ![]() The color of the hot water is the yellowish brown which made white muddy a little. There is sulfur smell just only in the water. Temperature of the hot water is suitable. The bath is surrounded by woods, so I feel that I adapt myself to the nature. I think that this hot spring have good value which you take time for. Drinks are sold at the charging hut. Business hours seem to be inaccurate.
