Yunotsuru Onsen (Yunotsuru Hot Spring)
# 4   of 5 most visited
sights in Minamata
access  -  ratings

Yunotsuru (literally: "crane of hot water") is a small hot spring town in the mountains not far from central Minamata, still located within the municipal limits of Minamata City. According to legend, the hot spring was discovered by an injured crane. Its waters are known to be effective in healing wounds.

The pleasantly run-down hot spring town of Yunotsuru stretches for just a few hundred meters along the central river in a very calm and rural setting. There are about half a dozen ryokan, many of which also open their baths to day-trippers for an admission fee of typically 100 to 300 yen.

Any Questions? Ask them in our question forum.

How to get there
Yunotsuru Onsen can be reached in a 20 minute bus or car ride from Minamata Station. The one way bus fare is 370 yen, and there is roughly one bus per hour.
