Hot Spring Town

The Yutabi foot bath is a place where you can casually enjoy Tsukioka Onsen. There is a theatre called “Tsukimidai” where you can see performances and exhibits and an information center called “Furatto” where you can stop by and get information.

Located in the birthplace of Tsukioka Onsen, this is a spot flowing with mystical energy where you can wish for beautiful skin and marriage. Enjoy a hand bath to experience the charm of the spring water casually, statues beckoning you to the hot spring and even sulfur spring water for drinking, a rare offering not found in many other places in Japan. Use your hot spring pass to make memories. Wash your hands at the drinking spot and make a wish for beautiful skin or marriage by pouring spring water over the statues. Then taste the self-proclaimed worst-tasting hot spring water in Japan!
