Yunomine Onsen is a historic hot spring village located in Tanabe, Japan. It is one of the oldest onsen areas in the country, with a history that dates back over a thousand years. Nestled in the lush mountains of the Kii Peninsula, Yunomine Onsen is part of the sacred Kumano Kodo pilgrimage routes, which are UNESCO World Heritage sites. The onsen is renowned for its natural healing properties and traditional bathhouses, where visitors can enjoy soaking in mineral-rich waters. One of the most unique aspects of Yunomine Onsen is Tsuboyu, a small, rustic bath that is the only World Heritage-listed hot spring bath in the world.
