We’re in Yunomine Onsen to see one of the smallest UNESCO World Heritage sites.
By the way: “onsen” is Japanese for “hot spring” or a town that has hot springs.
For over a thousand years, people have made pilgrimage along the Kumano Kodo to Yunomine to participate in hot spring water purification rituals before visiting the Kumano Hongu Taisha shrine to worship.
See a video of our four-day hike on the Kumano Kodo at the link above or below.
One of the public hot springs here is used as a public community cooking basin and you can buy eggs and vegetables— in a net— to cook in the 90°C water.
Tsuboyu is in a small cabin by the creek that runs through Yunomine Onsen. Here’s how to enjoy the bath:
Buy a ticket from the vending machine here. It’s eight hundred yen or about five dollars.
Exchange ticket for a number card at the counter.
When it is your turn, place your numbered ticket on the hook beside door and enter the bath.
Leave your shoes outside.
Rinse your body before entering the bath.
If the water is too hot, add cold water from the green tap and mix the water with the stir tool.
