Yugawara Onsen (Yugawara Hot Spring) is a historic hot spring
resort town located between the Izu Hakone mountains and Sagami
Bay. Yugawara has quiet, narrow streets and many picturesque
ryokans and houses. The Chitosegawa River and the Fujikigawa
River flow through the center of the town, and the ryokans
and houses are located on both sides of these rivers. Yugawara
Onsen also has many historical sites. This hot spring town
is connected to the Kamakura Shogunate which was very powerful
in the 13th century. Yugawara Onsen is also popular among women
since its hot spring waters are said to bless women with children.
The "Yukake" or water splashing festival is held
every spring and attracts a lot of visitors from all over Japan.
