Enjoy the Ocean View

One of the attractions of Yunokawa Onsen is the breathtaking ocean view from the guest rooms. Along the coastline facing the Tsugaru Strait, there are several hot spring inns where you can enjoy the scenery created by the sunset and sunrise without having to go outside. Among the many hot spring inns, the most popular is the Yunokawa Prince Hotel Nagatei. Rooms with open-air baths are particularly popular and have been featured on TV many times.

Point 2

Free Footbath Spot to Enjoy

At Yunokawa Onsen, there is a free footbath spot available to enjoy. The location is called "Yumeguributai," which is located in front of the Yunokawa Onsen tram stop. To ensure that it can be used even on bad weather days, a roof has been installed, and it is open every day from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm. You can easily enjoy the footbath during your wait for the tram, so bring a towel and come visit.
