A girls' trip to Yumechiyo no Sato "Yumura onsen". 6 recommended hotels and ryokan / Hyogo

Are you busy every day and can't seem to get rid of your fatigue? In those times, why not invite a friend and relax at a quiet onsen resort? We recommend "onsen onsen" in Shinonsen Town, which is on the Japan Sea side of Hyogo and borders Tottori. It is one of the highest-temperature hot onsen in Japan, and its natural onsen foot bath is a landmark. You can sit on a bench and enjoy the steam rising from the river. It also became famous nationwide after being the setting for the heartwarming drama "Yumechiyo Nikki" starring Yoshinaga Sayuri.

Yumura onsen has many photogenic spots like this one, created by the tourist association with the hope that people will take photos and post them on social media, so why not take some fun photos with your friends? There are also many relaxing tourist spots, such as the Fureai Tegata Sanpo (Handprint Walk), which displays the handprints of Sayuri Yoshinaga, singers, athletes, and others, Shofukuji Temple, where beautiful cherry blossoms bloom in spring, and Refresh Park Yumura, which is also home to the Yumechiyokan, a spa resort where you can enjoy the world of Yumechiyo.

In Arayu, where the hot onsen is said to be the hottest in Japan at 98 degrees, you can make the town's specialty, onsen eggs. The best part is making onsen eggs using the heat from the spring, soaking in the nearby Fureai no Yu (foot bath), and eating them! At the Tojikan, located right next to Arayu, you can learn about the traditional sake brewing methods of the Tajima Toji and experience the history. Here are some hotels and ryokan recommended for girls' trips in Yumura onsen, where you can experience something out of the ordinary.
