Framed by mountains and Sagami Bay, Yugawara is a famous hot springs town mentioned in Manyoshu, a collection of Japanese poems from the 7th century AD. Since then, visitors have flocked here to experience its therapeutic waters to heal and rejuvenate amidst nature. It is a popular weekend escape for Tokyoites as it is about a two-hour train ride from the city. After unwinding in an onsen, visitors can head to Joganji Temple to view its famous juniper tree, believed to be about 900 years old. Moreover, Manyo Park is ideal for a languid stroll and viewing the stone monument erected to celebrate the Manyoshu poem about Yugawara. After the walk, visitors can plunge tired feet into the Doppo-no-Yu footbath and sample the nine onsens purported to alleviate different health conditions.
