Soak in the baths before the crowds arrive. The onsen is part of Hakuunkaku Ryokan but open to day visitors. Arrive early to claim a good spot in the hot water while the sky is still bright.
17:15
Walk down to 百間川 せせらぎ広場 to watch the sun set over the river. The park is located WSW from the onsen, aligning with the sunset direction noted in the facts. Bring a light layer as the temperature drops quickly after dark.
18:00
Return to Yuba Onsen for a post-sunset soak. The warm water helps you relax after the cool evening air. The onsen stays open until 10 PM, giving you plenty of time to unwind.
Local tip
The onsen is temporarily closed during certain maintenance periods. Check the current status before you go. The walk from the onsen to the river park is short but can be slippery in the dark.
