An attractive hot spring visited by writers and artists
Other things to enjoy besides Okuizumo Yumura Onsen
Okuizumoyumura Onsen where Yunokamikan is located, is in the hot spring spot called Shitsuninosato surrounded by the mountains of Okuizumo in the midstream of Hiikawa River. It is known as a place where many writers and artists such as Chokunyu Tanomura, a Nanga (Southern School of Chinese Painting) artist, have visited to enjoy the pure hot spring and the quiet air.
The inside of the old wooden two-storied building is somewhat nostalgic, and from its piazza, guests can enjoy the changing seasons across the river.
There are 5 rooms at Yunokamikan, but they only accept reservations for two groups per day. It may be used by a small number of guests or by a group of up to 15 people depending on the circumstances. Besides the hot spa, dinner with seasonal ingredients served by the fireplace is something to look forward to. But the greatest pleasure to be enjoyed here may be the slow passing of time.
