Yukamuri Onsen Public Bath is a hot spring facility loved by locals, which retains the atmosphere of a traditional public bath. The bathroom has two baths with different temperatures, one with hot spring water poured directly into it, and the other with lukewarm water, where you can enjoy bathing while getting your body used to the water. Because the water is drawn directly from the source, the bath is always filled with fresh water, so it is hygienic and safe to use.

After bathing, there is a spacious tatami-floored rest area where you can relax after your bath. If you have the opportunity to interact with local regulars, you will enjoy hearing about Iwai Onsen's unique "Yukamuri" culture and old stories related to the hot springs. Towels and soap are sold, so you can visit empty-handed. Please contact us in advance to rent a hair dryer.

The quaint Western-style building that was once the old Iwai Elementary School building is a landmark, and you can enjoy a stroll around the hot spring town. Iwai Yukamuri Onsen Public Baths, where you can easily experience high-quality hot springs from long ago with a low bathing fee, will be a place where you can discover the hidden charms of your trip to Tottori.

[Trivia]
"Yukamuri" is a bathing custom unique to Iwai Onsen, in which you put a hand towel on your head and pour hot water over your head with a ladle. This is said to be a way of getting your body used to the hot water and allowing you to soak in it for a long time.
Next to the public baths is a Western-style building that was once used as the old Iwai Elementary School building, and is a symbol of the hot spring town.
Iwai Onsen is known as one of the oldest hot spring resorts in the Sanin region, and was even visited by Shimazaki Toson.
