Learn about mining history and ride a trolley train to Yunokuchi Hot Spring
About this spot
A museum preserving the history of the mining industry that once flourished in Kiwa Town, with exhibits featuring mining tools and recreations of underground passages. A trolley train departs from the museum through sections of the former ore-transport tunnels, and this small journey through mountain tunnels is immensely popular with children and adults alike. After traveling approximately 1 km through the tunnels, the trolley arrives at Yunokuchi Hot Spring (湯ノ口温泉), your next destination. An entirely unique Kiwa Town experience combining history education and ride entertainment in one.

熊野市紀和町の北山川河原で開催される、山あいの小さな花火大会です。2026年8月1日(土)21時から約15分間、約500発の花火が夜空に打ち上がります。周囲を山に囲まれた河原ならではの、音が反響して間近に感じられる迫力と、静かな川面に花火が映り込む美しさが魅力です。大規模な会場にはない、地域に根ざした親密な雰囲気の中で、家族でゆったりと夜空を見上げる時間を過ごせます。短い時間に凝縮された花火だからこそ、瞬きせずに見届けたい特別なひとときです。
Tips
湯ノ口温泉から車で約10分。会場周辺に大きな駐車場は少ないため、早めの到着と場所取りがおすすめです。荒天時は中止となる場合があるため、当日の開催可否は熊野市の公式発表で確認を。夜は足元が暗いので、小さなライトがあると安心です。
Tips
About 10 minutes by car from Maruyama Senmaida. Check the trolley train's operating schedule in advance for peace of mind. After viewing the museum, you can head straight to the hot spring via trolley, so travel light.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour 20 minutes. Aim for an afternoon departure to enjoy more leisurely time at Yunokuchi Hot Spring.
