Yunotsu Onsen (Yunotsu Hot Spring)
A retro hot spring district of Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine
Yunotsu Hot Spring constitutes one part of the Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine and its Cultural Landscape World Heritage Site. The hot spring district has a history of thriving as a shipping port in ancient times. The well-known hot springs, which gush forth abundantly, once soothed the silver mine’s workers. The district is lined with buildings from various eras, starting from around the 19th century, and people continue to live in the area even today. It genuinely resembles a museum where time has stopped. It is the only hot spring district in Japan to be designated a Historic Streetscape Preservation District. Yunotsu is a hot spring paradise where you can nourish your mind and body while experiencing its charm and history.
