You cannot afford to miss Okuhida Onsengou (Okuhida Onsen Village) if you are visiting Okuhida in Gifu Prefecture.

Okuhida Garden Hotel Yakedake
Okuhida Garden Hotel Yakedake is located in Shin Hirayu Onsen, Okuhida Onsengou. Its perimeter included two open-air baths and nine 100% naturally sourced hot water springs. You can also savour the carefully crafted local cuisine here.
All the nine hot water springs are blessed bountifully with vitamins and minerals and are called the "Bijin no Yu" (the hotwater of beauty). Alongside that, you can also try the ashiyu (a shallow hot water pool where you can dip your foot in), saunas, and also massages.
Inside the hotel's building, they have renovated an unused cart from a train and use it as a karaoke, named Karaoke Ressha (lit. Karaoke Train). You can do karaoke inside the cart and it is a very rare experience to witness.
In the dining hall, you can experience eating in a traditional form of a meal in Japan called Irori (a traditional sunken hearth in old Japanese houses) and you can enjoy seasonal local foods in a very Japanese-like style.
