Tsuboyu is a historic bath in the creek near the center of Yunomine Onsen.

Wataze Onsen (Watarase Onsen) is a hot spring resort with multiple, large open-air hot spring baths.

Kawayu Onsen is a geological thermal wonder where hot spring water bubbles to the surface of a crystal-clear river.
In the winter the river is transformed into a giant bath called Sennin-buro.

It is said that the spring-water gushed out when Emperor Godaigo worked on the excavation of a gold mine in 1337. After that, the onsen withered due to the development of mines, but when the area was bored after the mines closed, the water gushed out again and the area recovered as Yunokuchi Onsen in 1979.

Yunomine Onsen is an isolated hot spring tucked into a small valley. It is one of the oldest hot springs in Japan and intimately connected to the Kumano Kodo as pilgrims used the hot mineral waters for purification rites.

The castle built by the Horiuchi clan who ruled the Kumano region in the AzuchiMomoyama Period was the first, and it was later rebuilt by the Asano clan and then the Mizuno clan who replaced them, but the castle here was demolished under the ordinance to abolish castles at the time of the Meiji Restoration and only stone walls remain now. It was also known as Tankaku Castle.

A conspicuous stone lantern has been placed on a 5 meter-tall rock in the terraced rice fields of the hamlet of Sakamoto. The lantern was donated in 1813 and is the place for worship of Mt. Myokensan. This hamlet of Sakamoto is known as the birthplace of the Kishu dog breed.

This is the site where Meirin Elementary School, abolished in 1970, used to stand. It is currently maintained as a park and is one of the few spots to rest on the trail from the Hotel Seiryuso to Miwaohashi Bridge
