Yuki Onsen Kokumin Shukusha Yuki Lodge

About an hour by car from central Hiroshima, this hot spring inn sits in a quiet backcountry where the murmur of the clear Uchikogawa river drifts on the air. Yuki Onsen is known as a celebrated spring with a history stretching back over a thousand years. Day-use bathing is available, so you can easily enjoy the free-flowing spring water.

Highlights

The large bath, fitted with natural wood, is fed by free-flowing spring water and designed as a soothing space. In the open-air bath you can rest body and mind while taking in the sound of the Uchikogawa river and the scenery of the four seasons. The facility is also mindful of barrier-free access, so a wide range of visitors can use it with peace of mind.

Enjoying the Seasons

Spring brings fresh greenery, summer a cool valley breeze, autumn crimson foliage, and winter snowscapes, so the surrounding nature changes its expression with each season. The autumn foliage season is especially fine, letting you gaze at the coloring mountains while you bathe. At night the place is wrapped in stillness, and the starry sky is beautiful.
