Beautiful skin hot water, toy town, delicious mountain sea

Mimasaka City is one of the leading hot spring countries in western Japan, with abundant nature. Among them, Yunogo Onsen is a famous hot spring (*) with a history of more than 1200 years. It is said that Jikaku Ennin was led by Shirasagi to discover it, and it has been popular with people as another name, “Sagi no Yu”, Yuji no Yu, and Bihada no Yu. There are three museums in the city: the Japan Museum of Contemporary Toys, the Music Box Yumekan, and the toy box of the day, the Showakan.

In addition to local mountain products, you can also enjoy seafood from both the Seto Inland Sea and the Sea of Japan. (* Spring quality: sodium, calcium chloride spring)

Avoiding the Three Cs, 5 "living experiences" unique to Yunogo Onsen

Now that the corona is bad, there is a tendency to hesitate to travel. For that reason, we would like many customers to enjoy a safe, secure, and memorable trip through the experience of living and hot springs, which is limited to one group per day. Five activities were born from such thoughts. I would like to become the second home of busy modern people who can enjoy the four seasons of Japan in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

In spring, a large amount of melt water flows into Lake Shirakawa from the Iide mountain range, one of Japan’s 100 most famous mountains, where there is heavy snowfall. When the lake is full of water, it creates a fantastic sight of white willow trees as if they are growing out of the water.
