Yuya Onsen Hōrai Yū-Yū Ariina
湯谷温泉 鳳来ゆ〜ゆ〜ありいな
A city-run hot-spring and sports complex at Yuya Onsen, the noted spa of Oku-Mikawa strung along the Ure (Itashiki) River gorge in Shinshiro, Aichi. Rare in being reachable by rail — about 10 minutes on foot from Yuya-Onsen Station on the Iida Line — it has a large bathing hall with a main tub, bubble bath, jet bath and lie-down bath, plus an open-air bath within earshot of the river and its greenery. The sodium-calcium-chloride water warms you thoroughly. Bathing only: adults ¥620, children ¥310; the heated pool (with water slide) and gym are extra, or an all-facility ticket is ¥1,150. Open 10:00–21:00 (last entry 20:15), closed Tuesdays (the day before if a holiday), December 29–January 1, and for maintenance in March and October. The restaurant serves gohei-mochi and set meals. Combine with a hike up Mt Hōraiji, Hōrai Gorge or the Atera Seven Falls. About 20 minutes by car from Shinshiro IC on the Shin-Tōmei.
