Okuhida is well known for its hot springs, and especially for its rotemburo (outdoor baths) with views of the surrounding alps. Five onsen towns have developped along Okuhida's valleys: Hirayu, Fukuji, Shin-Hirayu, Shin-Hotaka and Tochio.
Hirayu Onsen 平湯温泉:
Hirayu onsen is known to be a spring where the daimyo (feudal lords) of the Hokuriku region used to visit.
Hirayu no Mori ひらゆの森: A public bath, gender separated, also private bathes and some lodging facilities, for example cottages with private bath.

Fukuji Onsen:
While appearing quite old, most of the ryokan in Fukuji are rather new, but they are made from recycled materials from old farmhouses. That gives them a traditional feeling.

Ryokan Sansui: Four private bathes.
Tochio Onsen:
The minshuku here are some of the more economical places to stay when visiting the region.
