The Oku-Hida Onsen Villages (奥飛騨温泉郷 Oku-Hida Onsengō), are a group of 5 remote hot springs (Jp. onsen) villages, nestled deep in the Japan Alps of Gifu prefecture.

Each hot spring resort has several hotels and ryokans. And there are more than 100 open-air bathes. Some of them are the public bathes and we can use them cheaply or at no charge.

Hirayu Onsen, at 1,250 m above sea level on the northern foot of holy Mount Norikura is a hot spring with the longest and most distinguished history among the Oku-Hida Hot Spring Villages.

According to an old legend, an old white monkey appeared before soldiers who became unable to move because of a poisonous fog, and led them to the hot spring of Hirayu; the soldiers who entered the spring instantly recovered. It is said that as this legend spread by word of mouth, more and more people started to arrive at the hot spring through steep mountain paths. Hirayu Onsen, deep in the mountains, used to be difficult to visit, but after a tunnel was opened and transportation improved, it became a popular place as an entrance to sightseeing spots, such as Norikura and Kamikochi.

In the mountain slightly away from the center of the hot-spring resort, there is a public bath called "Kami No Yu." This is precisely the birthplace of Hirayu Onsen, where the legend of the white monkey is set. Separate open-air baths for men and women are built on the slope where trees grow thickly, creating an atmosphere of sanctity.

There are about 40 sources of hot springs scattered throughout the area of Hirayu Onsen, from which as much as 13,000 liters of hot water flow out per minute. In terms of the spring quality, it is a hydrogencarbonate spring containing abundant salt, magnesium and calcium. Because the hot spring is effective for skin diseases and gastrointestinal disorders, the place is also used for hot spring therapy for long-term stays and treatment.
