Shimobe Hot Spring Village, also known as "Lord Shingen's Hidden Hot Spring," is renowned for its therapeutic waters, believed to aid in the recovery of fractures and cuts. The recommended bathing method involves prolonged immersion in the lukewarm waters to promote blood circulation and metabolism. The spring water is also sold as mineral water and is said to be beneficial for the digestive system. A unique Matsuba-zue Kuyo Festival (crutch memorial service) is held annually in mid-May, where people who have healed at the hot spring offer their crutches in gratitude, coinciding with the lively festival of Kumano Shrine. Located in Minobu Town, Yamanashi Prefecture, it's a 3-minute taxi ride from Shimobe Onsen Station. The village offers 17 lodging facilities with a total capacity of 2000 guests. The hot spring is known for its benefits for gastrointestinal issues, high blood pressure, and external injuries like fractures and burns.
