⛩ Morning temple grounds, a moment when hot springs and history come to life
1 minute walk from the Yunokawa tram stop. Pass through the torii gate and enter the temple grounds surrounded by old trees over 350 years old. This is a historic place where a lumberjack discovered the hot springs and where the 9th lord of the Matsumae clan also visited for medical treatment. The cool morning air naturally soothes the mind and soul.

🌿 Experience finding a mysterious "healing fortune"
The temple grounds are full of unusual fortunes such as "rabbit" and "squid lure". The simple and cute divine talismans are perfect as a memento of your trip.
The time to leisurely explore and find your favorite is also a small adventure unique to the shrine.

🔥 Deepen the feeling of Yunokawa's hot springs with prayer
After making a wish at the main shrine, touch the "Birthplace of Yunokawa Onsen" monument under the shrine, and you'll feel like you've started your journey around the hot spring town. It's also a great introduction to change your mood to a foot bath or a walk nearby.

🌅 Silence x Lingering aftertaste of hot spring energy
The morning sun shining into the worship hall, the sea breeze blowing through, the birds singing - a moment to listen to the sounds of nature and feel the fulfillment of standing in the hot spring land. It's a "moment of heart-unwinding" where the busyness of everyday life is suddenly unravelled.
⸻
Yukura Shrine is a quiet and rich "break from everyday life" woven together by prayer, history, and hot spring energy. Be sure to take a small but deep trip moment during your stay in Yunokawa
