This experience is a must-try for those interested in Japanese culture and onsen etiquette.

Insider tip — Motoyukan, the main hot spring building, anchors the Yuya Onsen district of Hamada on the rugged San-in Sea of Japan coast. Hamada is known for Sekishu washi paper, a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage craft made from local mulberry, and the dramatic coastline of the San-in Kinki National Park extends west from the city.
