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.
