About "Yunoguchi Onsen"
The area around Yunoguchi has prospered for excavation of Kanayama since the far north and south era, and has been a “Yujiba(Hot spring healing place)” for local residents. Even now, the word “Yuji(Healing method o” is fading, and the source of the Yunoguchi Onsen hot spring here has the original shape of a hot spring that Japanese people have enjoyed and valued for their natural benefits.
