Yunohama Onsen is a hot spring resort first used 1000 years ago, with rows of modern hotels and inns along the coastline.
The open-air baths are a unique pleasure within the hot spring village by the beach. From these baths, see the kilometer-long Shirahama coast, known for wide sandy beaches, stretched out in front of you, and the sun sinking into the Sea of Japan, selected as one of the 100 best sunsets in Japan. From the inns and hotels with ocean views in the prefecture’s foremost resort, enjoy water sports on the clear blue sea at Yunohama Onsen.
