Three Locations for the Yunishigawa Onsen Kamakura Festival
(1) Sawaguchi Riverbed
Visitors are beckoned by the magical scene of locals lined up along the riverside with hundreds of small kamakura. Guests can stroll the candle-lit riverside or view from the bridge overlooking Sawaguchi. This enchanting event will be held on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays only.
(2) Heike no Sato
Yunishigawa Onsen is a hot spring resort with a legend. After the Battle of Dan-no-ura (1185), the defeated Heike clan escaped from their enemies and settled here. Today, Heike no Sato has recreated the lifestyle of those times. Around the thatched-roof buildings, there are numerous small and even a few large snow huts. It feels like you step back in time.
(3) Mizunosato Snow Park
This snow park is sure to get the kids excited! Kids of all ages will enjoy sledding, playing in the snow and other activities unique to a winter wonderland. Plus, after playing in the snow, it's time to warm up in the indulgent hot springs of Yunishigawa Mizunosato. There's even a free footbath to warm weary ankles, feet, and toes.

Don't miss local gourmet food and onsen hot springs.
Cooked on an irori or "sunken hearth".
In Yunishigawa Onsen, meals cooked on an irori or "sunken hearth" are very popular. In the warm atmosphere of a traditional Japanese house, guest can enjoy local delicacies such as venison and wild boar meat, freshly caught local river fish, and mountain vegetables and mushrooms that are hard to find in the city. While area hotels and inns offer irori cuisine, it is also possible to enjoy these meals in a snow hut!
Soak in the hot water known for its therapeutic effects
Yunishigawa Onsen's hot spring water is alkaline. It is colorless, odorless, and mild. It contains few ingredients and thus, is a hot spring with a wide range of uses. It is said to be effective for conditions such as arteriosclerosis, muscle pain, neuralgia, back pain, and diabetes.
