A mid-century forest retreat

Yumoto sulfur springs

• ♨️The baths are fed straight from the Okunikko Yumoto source, a simple hydrogen-sulfide sulfur spring said to be the fourth strongest in Japan.
• 💧As a rule no water is added, it is not reheated, circulated or disinfected, and the temperature is kept around 42°C automatically; the color shifts from milky white to emerald green.
• 🪨The open-air bath is built with rocks from Mount Nantai; the indoor and open-air baths are open 3 PM–midnight and 5–10 AM, and the men's and women's baths do not switch.
