What is Yuda Onsen?
Yuda Onsen is where the legend goes that an injured white fox healed its wounds. The hot water, which blends well into the skin, has long been known as ``hot water for beautiful skin.'' There are fox statues all over the city. There are footbaths dotted around the area that you can casually enjoy, so we recommend taking a stroll and taking a break in the footbaths.
Approximately 20 minutes from JR Shin-Yamaguchi Station, the departure and arrival station for the Shinkansen. Please feel free to stop by for a stay or a day trip!

1. Leave the sake in Yamaguchi to us! "Harada Syuho"
A long-established local sake store that has been in business for over 100 years. Inside the store, there is a wide selection of sake from Yamaguchi Prefecture. The store, which was renovated in 2022, is a Japanese-style building that exudes the warmth of wood.

Inside the store, there is a map of Yamaguchi Prefecture that shows the representative brands of each sake brewery. If you look at this, you can quickly find the sake you are looking for.
5 Sake Recommendations by the Owner

① “Dassai” (Iwakuni City, Asahi Sake Brewery)
Dassai is a brand representative of Yamaguchi Prefecture. It is characterized by a refreshing and fruity taste. It is popular both at home and abroad. It seems that foreign visitors tourists often buy them.
② “Ohmine” (Mine City/Omine Sake Brewery)
Characterized by sweet and sour flavor and rice flavor. The stylish packaging makes it perfect as a souvenir.
③ “Toyo Bijin” (Hagi City, Sumikawa Sake Brewery)
"Toyo Bijin" has many fans in Japan. Elegant and gorgeous taste.
④ “Chomonkyo” (Hagi City, Okazaki Sake Brewery)
``Chomonkyo'' is said to be the shop owner's favorite. It is refreshing and easy to drink.
⑤ “Byakko” (Hagi City/Nakamura Sake Brewery)
The main point is the label with the motif of Yuda Onsen's white fox legend. A dry yet fruity scent.

This is a popular facility where you can enjoy tasting sake and sweets while soaking in three types of footbaths. There is also an exhibition corner and a tourist information corner, so it is recommended to start planning your trip.

There is also a souvenir corner inside the store. At Choshuya, you can buy certain sweets!
That's it! "Xavier Tower"!

"Xavier Tower" (650 yen)
"Xavier Tower" is a pastry roll that was originally created in a local pastry shop and was loved by the citizens. Production stopped when the shop closed, but it is a nostalgic sweet for local residents that has been revived in collaboration with a local vocational school.
A fluffy sponge cake wrapped with rich buttercream and crispy puff pastry, this is a fun snack with a fun texture. In addition to plain, we sell four types: strawberry, chocolate, and Ono tea.
It's difficult to take home because it's a refrigerated item, but it's the perfect size to take a break from walking. Please enjoy it during snack time at your accommodation or at the park.
4. Cool gelato after the hot spring “Pelo”
Pelois a shop that sells handmade gelato made in-store every day. The gelato is made with delicious seasonal ingredients such as apples, mandarin oranges, chestnuts, and tomatoes from Yamaguchi Prefecture, and is not too sweet and has a refreshing aftertaste.
There is also a gelato vending machine installed in front of the store. It is popular among locals as you can enjoy gelato even outside of business hours.
The restaurant's eat-in space, located in a renovated private house, has a tatami-style seating style. After getting out of the hot spring, why not cool down with some cool sweets?
5. Take a short trip to Mt. Konkon, which is rich in nature
