ABCs of Onsen Culture

Nagato Yumoto Onsen is Yamaguchi Prefecture's oldest hot spring district, boasting a rich 600-year history. Along with our staff, you will uncover the legends of its discovery and the history of the "divinely bestowed waters" (Shinju-no-yu) that once healed feudal lords, all while enjoying an engaging quiz. We offer a special experience where you can learn about the hot spring town's journey through time and its vision for the future, while enjoying a tasting comparison between fresh water and "Craft Onto," a beverage that concentrates the pure essence of the hot spring minerals.
