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.

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.

This is one of the Kumano Sanzan and the main enshrined deity is Ketsumimiko-no-Okami. The majestic shrine buildings were spared being swept away in the flood of 1889 and were relocated from Oyunohara. It is known formally as Kumanonimasu-jinja after a deity who lived in Kumano.

This is where the Kumano Hongu Taisha used to stand, but it was transferred to its current location on higher ground after the shrine complex was destroyed by flooding in 1889. The Otorii, Japan’s largest torii shrine gateway at a height of 33.9 m and a width of 42 m, stands at the entrance.
