Yutagami Hot Springs water springs out at the foot of Mt. Goma-do that overlooks the Echigo Plain. Mt. Goma-do was once called Mt. Mitsui and prospered as a focal point for worship, having a temple that had space for up to 72 monks to live there.
Mt. Mitsui changed its name to Mt. Goma-do when a monk trainee (Kobo Daishi according to one theory) burned wood on this mountain. The monk trainees used a hot spring to heal themselves after training, which was the start of Yutagami Hot Springs.
Later in the period when warriors reigned, Mt. Goma-do was used as a fortress or castle because it was suitable for military purposes, leaving many legends and accounts.
Although the start of Yutagami Hot Springs has faded in history, an account in existing archives describes it as a spa in the Shibata Domain in 1738. Also, the name is included in a list of hot springs of Japan issued in 1891 together with some 100 or so other hot springs.
Due to the potent effects, locals know the hot springs as healing water. It was believed that if you bathe here on the day of the ox in midsummer, you would be able to spend the next year in sound health.
This is one of the few hot springs in Niigata prefecture that is a drinking hot spring.
At present, a source newly excavated in 1998 is used. The spring quality is sodium chloride spring. Drinking it heals diabetes and obesity. You will be healthier by taking in Yutagami’s spring both inside and outside.
Exclusive glasses are prepared.
Please read the guidelines prepared in the dressing room for the bathing method. Follow the steps and enjoy the spa.
