御座之湯
Built in the style combining Edo and Meiji era bath houses, this onsen overlooks the Yubatake field. It has two bath halls which alternate between males and females.
A bath house converted into a performance centre adjacent to the upper level of the yubatake. Watch performances of the Yumomi ceremony where residents in the past used to cool down the hot spring waters using wooden boards. During the performance, you can take photos and videos of the performance and singing.

Literally "Hot Water Field", this hot spring in the center of town gushes out 5,000 liters of 70°C water per minute, making it Japan's largest. There is an elaborate cooling system of wooden conduits and a number of baths directly around it.
