Latest update :

Yunogo Onsen is one of the three hot springs in Mimasaka, Okayama Prefecture, with a history of 1200 years.

Yunogo Onsen is one of the best hot spring villages in the Chugoku region, Okayama Prefecture's Mimasaka Three Hot Springs.
It is said that about 1,200 years ago, the monk Ennin discovered the hot spring while he was on a pilgrimage to Saigoku and saw a white heron healing a wound on his leg. It has been popular for a long time.

The colorless and transparent hot water is popular for making the skin smooth, so it is also known as the "hot spring of beauty."

Relaxing inn where you can enjoy flowers "KIFU NO SATO"

When you pass through the cobblestone entrance, you will see a creative flower arrangement colored by trees in the fields. The faint scent of sandalwood. You will be fascinated by the fragrance that is one rank higher. Also, the floor that goes up is tatami mat. Relax your tired bare feet. It's like being in a nostalgic place.

All the furniture lined up in the lobby is made of solid cypress from around here, so it feels a little like being in the woods. It feels like the air is clear. Tea and sweets are brought when you are relaxing in a cute chair. I am happy to take a breather here. Time begins to flow slowly.

One of Japan's leading hot springs with a history of 1200 years

It is characterized by weakly alkaline NaCa chloride spring containing nitrogen gas, which is one of only three in the world. Since the small bubbles that adhere to the body do not cool the body, it is possible to take a long bath at a low temperature. It has a high healing power, so that cuts and scratches will disappear without a trace if you soak it slowly twice.

Open-air bath for men at night (Hakubai-no-Yu)

The beauty of Yunogo's night sky sometimes surprises the people of Okayama.

When you soak in the hot springs, look at the garden, and take a breather, you will be enveloped in the joy of being born in a Japanese country.

It may be easier to accept your partner's feelings, which you usually ignore, as your body warms up. Spend a relaxing time in the open-air bath at night in Yunogo, in the mountains of Okayama.
