The greatest attraction of Yu-Yu is its excellent spring quality and abundant water volume. Tamatsukuri Onsen is a famous hot spring that has been mentioned in the Izumo mythology. The spring quality, which is a sodium-calcium sulfate-chloride spring, is said to have the effect of keeping the skin moist and making it smooth and moist. The bath area is spacious, and you can enjoy the hot spring in an open space. There are a wide variety of bathtubs, and some baths are changed daily, so you will never get bored no matter how many times you visit. To be honest, after bathing, the moist feeling of your skin is clearly different, and you will be able to feel the skin-beautifying effect.

In addition to the hot spring, the facility also has a product hall that sells local souvenirs and specialties. There is a wide selection of Tamatsukuri Onsen original cosmetics, famous sweets unique to Shimane Prefecture, and local sake, so you can enjoy shopping after your bath. It is also a great place to look for souvenirs and memories of your trip, and the original cosmetics are popular for those who want to continue the effects of the hot spring at home.

Yu-Yu is located in the center of Tamatsukuri Onsen town, so it is very convenient as a base for exploring the hot spring town. The surrounding area is dotted with hot spring town walking spots such as foot baths, drinking springs, and Tamatsukuriyu Shrine, so you can enjoy bathing in hot springs and visiting power spots. **Personally, I recommend soothing your fatigue in a high-quality hot spring, then leisurely shopping at the product center and then strolling around the hot spring town. **It will be a fulfilling time where you can refresh your mind and body and enjoy the charm of the area at the same time.

[Hidden spot information]
Right next to Yu-Yu, along the Tamayu River, there is the "Tamayura Foot Bath". This foot bath is free and easy to soak in, and has a fantastic atmosphere, especially at night when it's lit up. It's relatively easy to get in even when it's crowded, and it's a little-known spot where you can relax from the feet up while listening to the murmuring of the river.
