Yudomari Onsen

The neighbouring village of Yudomari (湯泊) also has an onsen on its rocky beach.  This onsen is slightly larger and not subject to the tide (unless there is a stormy sea).  The onsen is divided into male and female sections with a narrow 1m high bamboo screen, so your modesty is protected – just!  If you don’t fancy getting naked with strangers, there is also a foot bath you can use.  Entry to the onsen is a 200 yen donation and there an honesty box at the entrance. This onsen is not particularly hot, so we recommend you avoid it in mid-winter.  There are toilets, showers and a car park nearby.  You can also snorkel close to the seashore at Yudomari. 

A visit to a seaside hot spring during the YES Yakushima Island Tour can be included.
