Yomogihira Onsen

This hot spring district, serving as the retreat of Echigo Nagaoka, was first developed with the building of a hot spring hotel in 1869 and has flourished as a therapeutic hot spring bathing destination ever since. Even today, the waters of the area's simple sulfur and simple alkaline hot springs are beloved by many; leaving the skin silky smooth, they are particularly popular with women. These waters are also said to treat such ailments as skin diseases, women's diseases, cuts, hardening of the arteries, high blood pressure, and high blood sugar. Nearby Koryu-jinja Shrine is a Shinto shrine boasting 600 years of history, and many worshippers from all over the country make their way to this sacred site. Some of area's many other sightseeing destinations where visitors can come in contact with local history and nature include Takenokochi Fudo-jinja Shrine, Fudo Falls, the Yamakoshi Rice Terraces, and Yukyuzan Park (known to locals as Oyama Park).
