Yumura Onsen (湯村温泉) is a small village located in Shin'onsen town in Mikata District, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan.
[1] Local legend states that the town's hot springs (onsen) were uncovered in AD848 by the priest Jikaku Daishi.
The town is said to have been inhabited since this time, and the local temple is claimed to have been built soon after the discovery of the hot springs.
Like most towns in northern Hyogo Prefecture, Yumura experiences disparate seasonal weather.
Yumura's hot springs have an unusually high temperature of 98 °C, and generate most of the town's tourism.
