Yunokoya [Hot Spring] - Yunokoya

Japanese: 湯ノ小屋[温泉] - ゆのこや

A hot spring in Minakami-cho, Tone-gun, Gunma Prefecture. Simple spring, 40-85°C. Located in the innermost part of the Minakami Onsenkyo hot spring resort, it springs up on the banks of the Yunokoya River, a tributary of the Naramata River, at the western foot of Mt. Shibutsu. It is said to have been established at the beginning of the Kamakura period as a retreat for members of the Oshu Fujiwara clan, but it has long been loved by local people as a single inn for hot spring treatments. In recent years, it has become more popular as a base for hikers, anglers, and vacationers exploring the Okutone region, but it still retains the atmosphere of a mountain hot spring. Nearby are Dogen Lake, Fujiwara Lake, and the Okutone Folklore Museum, and the Oze Okutone Forest Road leads to Hatomata Pass in Oze.

群馬県利根郡水上町にある温泉。単純泉，40～85℃。水上温泉郷の最奥部にあり，至仏山西麓，楢俣（ならまた）川支流の湯ノ小屋川のほとりにわく。鎌倉時代の初めに奥州藤原氏の一族が隠棲して開かれたとされるが，古くから一軒宿の湯治場として土地の人々に親しまれてきた。近年，奥利根探勝の足場としてハイカー，釣客，保養客の利用が増えたが，山の湯の面影を残す。付近には洞元湖，藤原湖，奥利根民俗集古館などがあり，尾瀬の鳩待峠まで尾瀬奥利根林道が通じている。
