Awara Hot Spring Yunomaichi Plaza (あわら温泉 湯のまち広場)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A plaza that spreads beside Awara Yunomaichi Station and serves as the starting point for exploring the hot spring town. Within the grounds gather the Yoshiyuki foot bath and the Yukemuri Yokocho stall village, and the tourist information office provides maps for town walks and information on highlights. Restaurants and sweet shops are scattered around the area, so it's recommended to have lunch here first, then leisurely explore the alleys. The noren curtains and stone-paved streets characteristic of the hot spring town will enhance your sense of unhurried wandering.

Tips

The plaza has free admission. It's easily accessible right from Awara Yunomaichi Station with parking available nearby. Restaurants around the plaza can get crowded during lunch hours, so arriving slightly earlier is reassuring. Visiting the tourist information office to ask about current events and recommended restaurants will help you explore efficiently.

Best time to visit

Approximately 1 hour 30 minutes. During lunch hours, you can leisurely combine lunch with town exploration.
