Located in Daisetsuzan National Park in Shikaoi Town, this hot spring is a detached house surrounded by national forests. As the town name suggests, I encountered a total of five deer three times on the road to and from work. There must be quite a high density of deer. It consists of a hot spring building and an accommodation building (Komorebi-so). The accommodation building was a relatively new three-story building made of reinforced concrete, which was surprising. I was traveling alone, but I thought it was more comfortable than the average business hotel room with a single bed. There was a refrigerator and a relatively large screen TV, and the soundproofing was solid, so I had a comfortable stay. The food was not luxurious, but it was sufficient. The owner is from Taiki Town and runs three companies. The front desk of the accommodation building was a friendly foreigner of South Asian descent who spoke fluent Japanese. There are 13 hot springs and 11 baths here, and the spring quality is all sodium chloride bicarbonate hot springs with a pH of around 7, but the ingredients and temperatures are slightly different, so you can enjoy the different textures and smells. The hot springs are free-flowing, with the only bath being the "Ikoro Bocca no Yu" in the accommodation building, which is a rare bath that springs from beneath your feet. Day-trip bathing is alternated between men and women, so if you stay overnight you are guaranteed to be able to bathe. There are a number of outdoor hot springs around this hot spring, but it is said that there are only 20 to 30 hot springs in the whole country with a temperature suitable for bathing and geographical conditions that allow the construction of a bathhouse, and this is one of them.
