Touge no Yu [Sugo Onsen] (Day trip bathing facility)

Kawajiri Onsen Hottoyuda

Yuda Onsenkyo is blessed with abundant hot spring resources and beautiful natural scenery. As the gateway to the area, there is a station building with a hot spring called ``Hotto Yuda.'' This facility, which is rare even in Japan, is a rustic building that makes use of the elegance of wood.The clock tower on the tongari roof and the town bird ``Yamadori'' are modeled on it. The decoration is unique. The large public bath includes a bubble bath, a sleeping bath, a private bath, and a rest room.

Taishokan [Yumoto Onsen]

Yumoto Onsen

The oldest hot spring town in Yuda Onsenkyo, known as the place where Masaoka Shiki stayed. It is a bitter sodium sulfate spring that gushes out on the left bank of the Waga River, 4km north of Hottoyuda Station. The word ``Yuda'' comes from the expression ``a place where hot water gushes out from inside the rice fields,'' which was used in the Kanbun era (around 1661-1673), and this refers to the current Yumoto Onsen.
