Yunomine Onsen is said to be one of the oldest hot springs in Japan, the traditional purification stop for pilgrims completing the Kumano Kodo before reaching Kumano Hongū Taisha. Tsuboyu is a single small rock bath inside a hut straddling the stream, rented to one party at a time for thirty minutes.

訪ねる理由
It is a bath of ritual rather than leisure: the water changes colour through the day, the hut seats two, and the pilgrimage route runs past the door.
