Uki-yu, the open-air bath built out over the pond, is the picture people come for, though it is reserved for staying guests while day visitors use the older Motoyu bath house. A large, well-run resort on parkland close to Misawa Station and airport with food, shows and grounds enough to fill a day; the spring is not documented as free-flowing, and there is little outside the gates.
