``Sunayu'' was recognized as the Yokozuna of the West in the national open-air bath ranking.

The representative spot, Sunayu, was ranked as ``Yokozuna of the West'' in the national open-air bath ranking. It is built by surrounding a hot spring that gushes out at the foot of Yubara Dam with rocks, and is affectionately known as a sand spouting place (suna bath) because the hot spring gushes out while spewing sand from the riverbed. You can bathe in the sand bath for free for 24 hours! Since this is a mixed bath in an open area, we have taken into consideration the bathing of women, so we also have ``Hanzaki-chan bathing clothes'', which are not see-through clothes exclusively for women, developed jointly with Wacoal Co., Ltd.
