Yunoyama Onsen, a town in the valley

Wooded slopes frame the buildings of Yunoyama Onsen below Mount Gozaisho. Use the official walking map to orient yourself among the town’s slopes and bridges.

Planning checked: 2026-10-31

Before you set off

This image does not verify the operation, vacancies or day-use bathing policy of any pictured hotel. Check bathing, accommodation and ropeway arrangements separately.

The operator announces private-car restrictions at the north end of Kamoshika Bridge, 09:00–15:00 on weekends and holidays from 24 October to 23 November 2026. Allow for congestion.

Official dated restriction

The onsen association website displayed maintenance at the check time; this does not mean the town is closed. Use transport-operator information for access.

Autumn colour and road/path conditions change; the photograph is not a current foliage report.

Gozaisho Ropeway is scheduled to suspend service for maintenance on 14–22 December 2026. The sightseeing lift, all summit-park facilities and the listed shops also close. This does not mean the whole Yunoyama Onsen town or its hotels close.

What to look for

  • The 29 November 2025 photograph shows the settlement and wooded valley, not a bathing facility or hotel room.
  • The walking map marks Namida Bridge and Yunoyama Kamoshika Bridge. The exact route to this photograph’s camera position has not been independently verified.

Kintetsu Yokkaichi Station → your visit

  1. Take the Kintetsu Yunoyama Line to its terminus, Yunoyama-Onsen.
  2. Transfer to a Mie Kotsu bus for Yunoyama-Onsen / Gozaisho Ropeway and alight at the terminus. Use the official map for paths and slopes around the onsen area.

The checked PDF covers 1 April–30 November; winter service differs. Check the return bus before setting off, and do not enter private land or a roadway to recreate the photograph.
