Takase Gorge

Sometimes it's not bad to play with the soil and water in nature. The warmth of the soil, the warmth of a person. And the relaxing hot springs will make you feel comfortable. In the beautiful green mountains and the flow of the clear river, you can experience the ease of a moment while feeling the taste of nature.

The history of Yunohama Onsen is ancient, with a legend that Empress Jingu treated her feverish prince in the hot springs long ago. At the long-established ryokan, Hoshiyamaen, day-use bathing is also available. The separate indoor baths for men and women each have three types: an indoor jet bath, a 28°C source spring bath, and a 17°C bottom temperature water bath. Each also has two types of saunas. The garden open-air bath includes a rock bath, a sleeping bath, and two ceramic baths with flowing source spring water, along with a spacious outdoor bathing area where you can feel the night breeze from the Yomichi River. There are also day-use plans that include bathing and lunch.

Natsume Soseki's novel, "Botchan", is said to be a model based on a native of Yuno, and there is a statue of Botchan fishing based on his childhood on the banks of the night.
