A beauty bath with a fox legend
Yuda Onsen carries a legend that it was discovered when a white fox was seen healing its wound in the spring. The water is a soft alkaline simple spring, and because the skin feels smooth afterwards it is called a beauty bath. The spa street has many fox figures and fox-related facilities, so a walk can be enjoyed along with the bath.
Prices and closing day
Because this is a public facility run by the city of Yamaguchi, the charge is modest. For non-residents it is 800 yen for adults, and cheaper for those over 60 and for residents. The bathing area closes on Tuesdays, though foot baths and the like run separately. It opens at 6:00, so an early visit is possible.

- As a communal bath there is no soap or shampoo — bring your own or buy at the shop.
- Payment is usually by ticket machine in cash — bring coins.

Nagato-Yumoto Onsen Onto
The source bath of Yamaguchi's oldest hot spring, opened some 600 years ago. Local volunteers rebuilt the aging public bath in 2020; the bathroom sits directly on the spring, so you stand chest-deep in a 1-m pool watching water seep from the bedrock. Around 39°C — made for long soaks. The riverside lounge doubles as a café open to non-bathers. Pair with a stroll through the town redeveloped around Hoshino Resorts' KAI Nagato.
Yuda Onsen Onsen-no-Mori
A large day-spa at Yuda Onsen in Yamaguchi city. The men's 'Byakko-no-yu' faces a Japanese garden while the women's 'Xavier-no-yu' is Western in style; both offer rotenburo, lie-down and jet baths, a walking pool and sauna. The pH 9.2 alkaline water feels silky. ¥1,000 including a face towel, open 10:00–24:00 every day. Upstairs there's a manga and rest lounge plus a canteen. Ten minutes' walk from Yuda-Onsen Station.
Kawatana Onsen Peaceful Seiryūsen
The municipal bathhouse that serves as the source bath of Kawatana Onsen, Shimonoseki's hinterland spa with some 800 years of history — the Mōri lords bathed here. Sodium-potassium chloride water (source about 41 °C) fills the indoor bath, with an open-air tub and sauna; adult admission is a modest ¥480. Family baths (from ¥1,100 for 80 min weekdays / 60 min weekends) and a rest-room package (¥800) allow a leisurely cure-style visit. Open 10:00–21:00 (last entry 20:30); closed the first Thursday of even-numbered months. Kawatana is the birthplace of kawara-soba, noodles grilled on a roof tile — try it after your bath. An easy stop on the way back from Tsunoshima Bridge.
