Yumura Onsen
Yumura · Kansai
A small hot spring village in Shin'onsen, Hyogo Prefecture, with 63 spring sources producing water at 98 degrees Celsius. The water is so hot that locals use it for cooking: the Arayu spring near the river is used daily to boil eggs, vegetables, and ingredients for meals, a practice called yugaki culture that has continued for centuries. This is one of the rare places in Japan where you can watch hot spring water being used as a kitchen.
