Enjoy Sunayu to the fullest! A naturally-formed large open-air bath whose water wells up from the riverbed.
Located beneath the Yubara Dam, Sunayu is a popular onsen that stretches along the bank of the Asahi River. The hot water is plentiful, offering a high quality, alkaline-rich spring water that feels smooth on the skin. Yubara Onsen is a symbol of its town, earning it the title of “The Yokozuna of the West” by the Japan Open-air Hot Spring Rankings. Furthermore, these hot springs can be enjoyed at different temperatures for various purposes, such as beauty and smooth skin, healthy babies and lifespan longevity.
