At the end of a lord's bathing ground
Yunoyama Onsenkan is a municipal day-bath at the far end of the Yuki-Yunoyama onsen valley in Saeki ward, Hiroshima. The spring was found about 1,200 years ago and the bathing ground built in 1750 by Asano Yoshinaga, lord of Hiroshima; set at the end of a quiet mountain hot-spring lane, it keeps a hidden-spa air.
Cold falling bath, warm indoor bath
Its signature is the falling bath pouring from a rock four metres up. The source is a cold 23.5°C simple weakly radioactive spring said to help stiff shoulders and neuralgia; the indoor bath is heated to 41°C, so regulars love alternating the warm bath with the cold falling water.
A municipal bath from 450 yen
A single visit costs 450 yen for adults and 150 yen for children, a day pass 800 and 400 yen, bathing tax included. With toiletries, dryers and free coin lockers, plus parking, it makes a good base for touring the mountain baths along with nearby Yuki Lodge.
