The open-air baths at the Yunokaro Natural Spa offer various types of baths, including an open-air rock bath, a carbonated nano bubble bath, and a stone bed sauna, etc.
The Yunokaro open-air bath uses water that flows directly from a hot spring 1,001 meters underground. Under the open sky, the open-air bath allows customers to enjoy comfortable warmth and maximum relaxation in a beautiful natural environment.
Yunokaro's indoor baths are soft and gentle to the skin. Aesthetic baths include a carbonated nano-bubble bath that feels like a cosmetic lotion, and an aesthetic Jacuzzi bath that provides refreshment for the skin, body, and mind.
Yunokaro also has a variety of sauna baths, such as a salt sauna, mist sauna, and stone bed sauna, in addition to an ordinary sauna, offering various benefits to choose from. And also, the "Ondan room" is fully air-conditioned to maintain a temperature of 2 to 3 degrees above room temperature, and helps to maintain the deep body temperature warmed by bathing, thereby improving metabolism.

■About gift for hometown tax program.
All residents in Japan are required to pay a residence tax to the city or town in which they live. Currently, you have several options. The Hometown Tax Program allows you to choose the amount of money you would like to donate. The amount you donate will be deducted from your Residence Tax the following year, less JPY2,000. You'll also receive a thank you gift from the community you donated to. Gifts can include local specialties, handicrafts, and more.
This time, Yunokaro was chosen as a gift by both cities because it is a natural spa beloved by the people of the region.
