Shimane Arts and Cultural Center-Grantwa

A public bath located in the ancient Yufuku Onsen, which has a history of over 1370 years. The public bath, said to have been used by the lords of the Tsuwano and Hamada clans, originated from the Fuku no Yu, which was renamed in the early Showa period. The Taisho Roman-style architecture of the exterior and interior is quite nostalgic. The tiled bath area also has a retro atmosphere. There are also private family baths available. The pleasant texture of the hot spring water is an alkaline simple spring that is colorless and transparent.

Swans swimming in the waterfowl pond, along with deer, donkeys, and goats leisurely spending time in the animal square, as well as ponies and giant rabbits that have newly joined. You can also feed them if you bring vegetables like carrots and cabbage (details should be checked on the official website, sales are also available). From the mountaintop observation deck, you can see landscapes such as Mount Daisen. The charm of enjoying about 600 cherry trees, including Somei Yoshino, and trees and flowers of autumn leaves throughout the seasons is also appealing. Let's fully enjoy playing and moving our bodies in the children's square equipped with playground equipment like slides.
