A Hotel in a Seaside Onsen Town

• 🐢Yunohama Onsen is a 1,000-year-old seaside hot spring town, once called 'Kame-no-yu' after a legend of a turtle healing its wounds in spring water bubbling up on the shore.
• 🌊Only a single road separates the hotel from the sea, and sea-side rooms look out on sunsets listed among Japan's 100 best.
• 🏢A 10-story reinforced-concrete building with 40 rooms, aiming to be a place where everyone from small children to grandparents can enjoy their stay.

Baths with the Sound of the Waves

• ♨️The sodium-potassium chloride spring emerges at 56.1°C; it keeps you warm long after bathing and has been called a 'spring for wounds' thanks to the salt's antiseptic effect.
• 🛁There are large indoor baths, Hatsunagi-no-yu for men and Yunagi-no-yu for women, plus an open-air bath where you can hear the waves.
• 💧Because the source is so hot, tap water is added to adjust the temperature; the water is filtered and recirculated and chlorinated for hygiene.
