Traces of Animals Across the Land
<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter where you travel in Japan, you\u2019ll always manage to come across hot springs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These areas usually have inns to stay in, nearby souvenir shops, coffee shops, and cafes often run by families for generations. They’re designed for one or two-night stays, making enjoying the hot springs in a short visit an ease. This setup offers a fantastic way to experience local travel with convenience and comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through our travels, we’ve noticed that many hot springs are linked to animals. Deer, bears, boars, cranes, and even mythical creatures like Kappa have ties to these hot springs. Sometimes the animal’s name is part of the hot spring’s name, and other times it’s reflected in the names of local places. This connection offers a glimpse into a time when people in Japan likely had a closer relationship with animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this series, we won\u2019t be focusing on just the famous onsen often featured in the media, but on the ones with connections to the beloved critters of the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n



To the Hot Spring Town Where Foxes Roam<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


In The New York Times\u2019 \u201c52 Places to Go in 2024\u201d list, only one destination from Japan made the cut: Yamaguchi City in Yamaguchi Prefecture. Nestled in a basin surrounded by mountains with a river flowing through it, the city is sometimes referred to as the \u201cKyoto of the West.\u201d As you stroll through the neatly arranged low-rise neighborhoods, it feels a bit like walking through Kyoto before it became the global tourist magnet it is today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yamaguchi City is home to none other than Yuda Onsen, the star of Animal ONSEN Part 02. From Tokyo, it\u2019s about five hours by bullet train. From Fukuoka, just 45 minutes. Either way, you\u2019ll transfer at Shin-Yamaguchi Station to the JR Yamaguchi Line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hop aboard the strikingly bright red train, and after about 15 minutes of scenic views, you\u2019ll arrive at Yuda Onsen Station, named after our destination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step through the unstaffed ticket gate and out of the station, and you\u2019ll spot it immediately on your left\u2014a towering statue of a white fox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Standing 8 meters tall and weighing 3 tons, the statue represents the white fox said to be the source of the spring\u2019s discovery. With its gaze behind us, we set off on foot toward Sansuien, a traditional inn about 20 minutes from the station. Along the way through quiet residential streets, we spot white foxes everywhere\u2014from postboxes and playgrounds to manhole covers. It\u2019s clear the whole town embraces this mystical creature as part of daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The story of Yuda Onsen\u2019s origin dates back several centuries. And it\u2019s all thanks to a white fox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long ago, a small pond lay within a temple in the village. Each night, an injured white fox would quietly come to soak its wounded paw in the pond. Curious, the temple\u2019s priest followed the fox and discovered that it lived on Mt. Gongen, a sacred site once home to the three Kumano Gongen deities. Wondering why the fox came all the way down from the mountain to this pond, the priest scooped up some of the water, only to find it faintly warm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suspecting something more, he dug into the ground and, sure enough, hot water came gushing out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only that, but a golden statue of Yakushi Nyorai\u2014the Buddha of healing\u2014was also discovered in the pond. Overjoyed, the priest built a small temple hall to enshrine it. From then on, villagers began visiting the site to pray before their baths. The temple, known today as Kumano Shrine, still stands and continues to attract worshippers seeking to form or sever relationships\u2014as it is known to help with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n



A Hot Spring at the Foot of the Fox\u2019s Mountain Home<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


The white fox\u2019s former dwelling, Mt. Gongen, sits not far from YCAM<\/a> (Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media). Walk past the center\u2019s spacious garden and head toward the mountain, and soon the thatched roof of Sansuien comes into view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
The path leading to Sansuien runs alongside Mt. Gongen, visible on the far left in the photo. Halfway up the mountain sits Kumano Shrine, and if you step inside the grounds, you\u2019ll find a narrow woodland trail known as \u201cByakko no Komichi\u201d\u2014the White Fox\u2019s Path.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Originally built as a private villa, Sansuien opened its doors as a ryokan in 1936. The wooden architecture, designed by master sukiya builder Kaichiro Fuefuki, is now recognized as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property, while the three gardens that stretch across the grounds are designated Cultural Properties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its layered postwar history and timeworn elegance, you can feel the quiet weight of the past in every beam and pathway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

 The view from the men\u2019s bath at Suisan no Yu. Designed to match the spring\u2019s natural volume, the spacious tub offers a calming perspective of untouched greenery\u2014preserved intentionally by minimizing tree removal.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The walk-in hot spring Suisan no Yu welcomes day visitors for 1,600 yen per adult (as of April 2025). Not only does it use 100% natural spring water, the bath blends three sources of differing temperatures to create a perfectly balanced soak. The clear, alkaline sulfur spring water glides over the skin with a gentle smoothness and carries a subtle scent of sulfur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you settle into the gently warm open-air bath and gaze out at the sweeping green mountains, you might find yourself picturing the white fox that once wandered these very hills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spectacular bamboo grove stretches just beyond the waiting room, where a cool breeze drifts through\u2014left untouched to preserve its natural form.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
