History of Yumoto Onsen
Since the time of the fourth shogun, Ietsuna, during the Edo period, Yumoto Onsen has been known among the townspeople of Edo as one of the ‘Seven Hot Springs of Hakone,’ along with Tonosawa, Dogashima, Miyanoshita, Sokokura, Kiga, and Ashinoyu. Among them, Yumoto is said to have the longest history, dating back to the year 738—more than a thousand years ago.
Yumoto Onsen is an alkaline simple spring, clear and almost odorless, yet known for easing neuralgia and other ailments. Many come hoping to benefit from its restorative qualities. Guests can enjoy the same spring water in their room baths, where the pipes wear out more quickly than with tap water, demanding extra care—but we remain committed to delivering fresh, high-quality hot spring water straight from the source to our guests.
The Legend of Kannonsawa Sacred Spring
In the early Edo period, a traveler on his way to Kyoto passed through Yumoto and was attacked by bandits. Stripped of his belongings, he was thrown into the deep valley of the Sukumo River. A devout believer in Kannon, the traveler was caught by a tree and lost consciousness. When he awoke, he found himself revived by the warmth of a spring and informed the villagers of Sukumo of this miraculous water.
From then on, the spring came to be known as Kannonsawa. The traveler built a small hermitage and enshrined a statue of Kannon, dedicating his life to prayer. Locals revered him as ‘Kannonsawa Shōnin,’ the holy man of Kannonsawa. In time, the spring became widely celebrated, even praised as the ‘Spring of Long Life and Beauty.’
