SodiumChloruresBrome
Yu no Yama Onsenkan is located in Hiroshima, Hiroshima Prefecture. Its sodium-chloride water reaches 41°C. The complex offers an indoor bath, an outdoor rotenburo bath and a sauna.
Insider tip — Yu no Yama Onsenkan, the hot spring mountain hall, serves the forested foothills northwest of Hiroshima City where the Chugoku mountains recede from the Hiroshima plain into the Sandankyo gorge country. The western Hiroshima highlands preserve the intact Chugoku landscape of cedar-forested ridges and mountain rice paddies providing the visual backdrop for the city below, and the Sandankyo gorge — one of the most dramatic river-canyon walks in western Honshu — is accessible from the mountain approaches above this spring.
